NOTE: Refer to Figure 12 when following steps below:

1. Remove the outer wing nut, washer, and air filter cover.

2. Remove the inner wing nut, and the air filter.

IMPORTANT: Use care when removing the air filter so dirt and debris does not fall into the carburetor.

NOTE: Air filter is made up of an outer foam element and an inner paper element.

3. Separate the outer foam element from the inner paper element.

4. Check the inside of the paper element for dirt or debris.

5. Check both elements for tears.

NOTE: If the inner paper element is dirty or if either element is torn, replace with a new air filter from the manufacturer.

6. Clean the outer foam element by washing it thoroughly in a solution of household detergent and water, or in a nonflammable or high flash point solvent. Allow to

dry thoroughly. Then soak the foam element in clean engine oil, and squeeze out all excess oil.

7. Clean the inner paper element by lightly tapping it against a hard surface to remove excess dirt or by blowing compressed air through the filter from the inside out.

IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to brush dirt off the paper ele- ment, as this will only embed dirt into the fibers.

8. Reinstall the cleaned out foam element onto the inner paper element.

9. Reinstall the clean air filter and cover onto the unit by reversing steps 1 and 2 above.
