AIR CLEANER
Check that the air cleaner elements are clean and in good condition. A dir-
ty air cleaner will restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing engine perfor-
mance. A damaged air cleaner will allow dirt to enter the engine, causing
rapid engine wear.
1. Raise the rear body and remove the two wing nuts to remove the air
cleaner cover and air cleaner elements.
2. Inspect the air cleaner elements. Clean or replace the cleaner if
necessary. If the air cleaner elements need cleaning, follow the pro-
cedure described on page 49.
3. Reinstall the air cleaner elements and air cleaner cover. Tighten the
wing nuts securely.
