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. Open the hood and remove the wing nuts to remove the air cleaner
cover and air cleaner elements.
2. Inspect the air cleaner elements. Clean or replace the elements if
necessary. If the air cleaner elements need cleaning, follow the pro-
cedure described on page 85. 3. Reinstall the air cleaner elements and air cleaner cover. Tighten the
wing nuts securely.
