Fuel Filter/Water Separator
Inspection and Service
The fuel filter is located under the
engine cover between the fuel
coupling and the fuel pump.
Water or sediment accumulation in
the filter can cause loss of power or
hard starting. To prevent engine
malfunction, inspect the filter and
replace when necessary.
A red ring float is located inside the
strainer cup. It floats on top of the
water and indicates how much water
has accumulated in the strainer cup.
