If the filter is not too dirty, its surface can be cleaned with a brush.

Otherwise it must be replaced.

Check the fuel hose for cracks and leaks.

Make sure that the filter’s connection neck is inserted as far as possible into the fuel hose and that the O-ring is sufficiently tight so that the filter cannot slide off the tube.

Fuel pump

The fuel pump has the task of facilitat- ing the start of the engine when cold. The pump fills the carburettor with fuel before attempting to start the engine. This also prevents vapour bubbles from blocking the narrow fuel channels.

If the pump does not work it must be replaced.

Note how the fuel hoses are connected to simplify assembly.
