Remove Valve Cover
1. Remove the five hex flange valve cover screws.
Note the assembly orientation of any attached
brackets (lift, fuel tank, muffler) and loose spacers
if used. See Figure 9-22.
NOTE: The valve cover is sealed to the cylinder
head using RTV silicone sealant. When
removing valve cover, use care not to
damage the gasket surfaces of cover and
cylinder head. To break the RTV seal,
hold a block of wood against one of the
flat faces of the valve cover. Strike the
wood firmly with a mallet. If the seal
doesn't break loose after 1 or 2 attempts,
repeat the procedure on the other side.

housing and baffles. Disconnect the wire harness
from the key switch, if equipped. Remove the
blower housing, intake tube and baffles. See
