The fuel filter
The fuel filter is located in the fuel tank nipple. It can be removed and cleaned with a can of carb cleaner or it can
be replaced.
See Figure 4.4.
NOTE: If cleaning a filter, back-flush it by spraying the carb cleaner through the barb end and out of the
screen. Also make sure the fuel tank is clean.
NOTE: To replace the fuel filter follow the steps described in Chapter 1: Introduction.
Inspect the fuel lines
Are they cracked?
Are they clogged?
Are they brittle?
NOTE: If the answer to any of the above is yes, replace the fuel lines. When replacing fuel lines, low perme-
able fuel line must be used in order to meet EPA and CARB standards.
NOTE: The nipple has a sharp edge that will damage the inner lining of the fuel line. Replace the fuel line
every time it is removed from the carburetor fuel nipple.
Drain the fuel tank before starting work to prevent spillage.
Dispose of drained fuel in a safe and responsible manner.
