5. TANK AND SUPPLY
IMPORTANT: Carefully read the information below before commencing any intervention.
General Information
The fuel supply system comprises the petrol tank connected to the carburettor by a pipe; a mesh lter at
the bottom of the tank prevents deposits and impurities from reaching the carburettor.
The supply to the carburettor oat chamber is caused by gravity and the volume of petrol taken from the
tank as the engine runs is compensated by a breather pipe in the cap.
See the relevant section [ 15] for advice on resolving problems due to the malfunctioning of the petrol
supply system.
WARNING: All interventions on the supply system must be performed in safe conditions, therefore:
- do not smoke;
- workinaventilatedenvironmentawayfromnakedamesorunprotectedsourcesofheat;
- Collect any remaining petrol by positioning a suitable container under the engine, avoiding soiling the
work bench;
- remove all traces of spilt petrol immediately;
- check you have connected the pipes before pouring petrol back into the tank.
