Check the air cleaner element to be sure it is clean and in good condition.
Loosen the cover screw and remove the left side maintenance cover.
Press the latch tab on the top of the air cleaner body, remove the air cleaner cover, check the
element. Clean or replace the element if necessary.
■ Never run the engine without the air cleaner. Rapid engine wear will result from contaminants,
such as dust and dirt, being drawn through the carburetor, into the engine.
