FUEL PUMP
Removal/Installation
Different types of fuel pumps have been used,
but all are basically the same. Refer to Figure 30
for the routing of the hoses to the crankcase (A,
Figure 30), fuel inlet line from the tank (B,
Figure 30) and fuel output (pressure) lines to the
carburetors (C, Figure 30). The actual location
of the pump may be different than that shown in
either Figure 30 or 31.
1. Open the hood.
2. Label the hoses at the fuel pump (Figure 30).
3. Loosen the hose clamps, then detach the
hoses from the pump. Plug the hoses to prevent
fuel leakage or contamination.
4. Remove the screws holding the fuel pump to
the air silencer frame and remove the fuel pump.
5. Replace the hose clamps as necessary.
6. Installation is the reverse of these steps. Re-
connect the hoses according to the identification
marks made before disassembly.
