FUEL AND INTAKE SYSTEM
PREPARATION FOR REMOVAL
PROCEDURES
1. Remove all dirt, mud, dust and foreign material before
removal and disassembly.
2. Use proper tools and cleaning equipment.
3. When disassembling the vehicle, always keep mated parts
together. This includes gears, cylinder, piston and other parts
that have been “mated” through normal wear.
Mated parts must always be reused or replaced as an assembly.
4. During vehicle disassembly, clean all parts and place them
in trays in the order of disassembly.
This will speed up assembly and allow for the correct
installation of all parts.
5. Keep all parts away from any source of fire.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
Use only genuine AEON parts for all replacements. Use oil
and grease recommended by service manual for all lubrication
jobs.
GASKETS, OIL SEALS AND O-RINGS
1. Replace all gaskets, seals and O-rings when overhauling the
engine. All gasket surfaces, oil seal lips and O-rings must be
cleaned.
2. Properly oil all mating parts and bearings during
reassembly. Apply grease to the oil seal lips.
FUEL SYSTEM
Gasoline is extremely flammable and explosive
under certain conditions.
Always stop the engine and refuel outdoors or in a
well-ventilated area.
Do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks in or
near the area where refueling is performed or where
gasoline is stored.
Do not overfill the tank. Do not fill the tank neck.
If you get gasoline in your eyes or if you swallow
gasoline, seek medical attention immediately.
If you spill gasoline on your skin or clothing,
immediately wash it off with soap and water and
change clothing.
Never start the engine or let it run in an enclosed
area. Engine exhaust fumes are poisonous and can
result loss of consciousness or death in a short
time.
Never drain the fuel when the engine is hot.
Severe burns may result.
FUEL LINE
1. Check the connect fuel line for signs of wear, deterioration,
damage or leakage. Replace if necessary.
2. Be sure fuel line is routed properly.
IMPORTANT: Make sure line is not kinked or pinched.
3. Replace fuel line every two years.
