clogged, obstructing fuel flow to carbure- tor, replacement is required.

•With engine cool, remove filter and plug fuel line sections.

•Place new fuel filter in position in fuel

line with arrow pointing towards carburetor.

•Be sure there are no fuel line leaks and clamps are properly positioned.

•Immediately wipe up any spilled gasoline.

•Clean engine, battery, seat, finish, etc. of all foreign matter.

•Keep finished surfaces and wheels free of all gasoline, oil, etc.
