MAINTENANCE

FUEL CAP

WARNING:

A leaking fuel cap is a fire hazard and must be replaced immediately.

The fuel cap contains a non-serviceable filter and a check valve. A clogged fuel filter will cause poor engine perfor- mance. If performance improves when the fuel cap is loosened, the check valve may be faulty or the filter clogged. Replace fuel cap if required.

SPARKING PLUG

This engine uses a Champion RCJ-6Y with 0.63 mm (0.025 in) electrode gap. Use an exact replacement and replace annually.
