5.Fasten the fuel valve nuts securely.

Note: If you have difficulty removing the fuel filter, you may find it easier with the fuel tank removed entirely. To do this, refer to the parts breakdown on Page 27, remove the upper and lower fuel lines, and remove the upper tank bracket. Once the tank is removed, the fuel filter can be removed and replaced more easily. Be sure to reattach and securely fas- ten any fuel lines or brackets you remove.
