Air Cleaner Service
A dirty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the
carburetor.
To prevent carburetor malfunction, service the air
cleaner frequently.
1. Remove the screws and air cleaner cover.
Remove the elements and separate them.
2. Wash the foam element in liquid detergent and
water and flush until water is clear. Dry it
thoroughly by applying compressed air. After
drying, soak in oil and squeeze out the excess.
3. Remove dust from paper element by applying
compressed air or tapping the case lightly. If the
paper element is excessively dirty, replace or
wash it in liquid detergent and water and flush
until water is clear. Dry it thoroughly by
applying compressed air before installing.
