Fuel Tap Inspection

•

Check the fuel filter screens [A] for any breaks or deteri-

oration.

If the fuel filter screens have any breaks or are deterio-

rated, it may allow dirt to reach the carburetor, causing

poor running. Replace the fuel tap.

If the fuel tap leaks, or allows fuel to flow when it is OFF,

replace the damaged gasket [A] or O-rings [B].

Fuel Level Gauge Removal

•

Remove the fuel tank cap.

WARNING

Gasoline is extremely flammable and can be ex-

plosive under certain conditions. Turn the ignition

switch OFF. Do not smoke. Make sure the area is

well ventilated and free from any source of flame

or sparks; this includes any appliance with a pilot

light.

•

Remove the fuel tank cover (see Fuel Tank Removal).

•

Install the fuel tank cap immediately.

•

Pry off the gauge cap [A] and discard the cap.

•

Check the grooves [B] in the fuel tank boss. If the grooves

are damaged by removing the cap or can not hold the cap

nails, the fuel tank must be replaced.
