SERVICE INFORMATION
GENERAL
• Bending or twisting the control cable will impair smooth operation and could cause the cable to stick or bind, resulting in loss of
vehicle control.
• Work in a well ventilated area. Smoking or allowing flames or sparks in the work area or where gasoline is stored can cause a
fire or explosion.
• When disassembling the fuel system parts, note the locations of the O-rings. Replace them with new ones on reassembly.
• Before removing the carburetor, place an approved gasoline container under the carburetor drain hose, loosen the drain screw
and drain the carburetor.
• After removing the carburetor, wrap the intake port of the engine with a shop towel or cover it with pieces of tape to prevent any
foreign material from dropping into the engine.
• If the vehicle is to be stored for more than one month, drain the float chamber. Fuel left in the float chamber may cause clogged
jets, resulting in hard starting or poor driveability.
