Before servicing any part of the fuel system, stop the engine and
disconnect the battery. Drain the fuel system completely. Use an
approved container to collect and store fuel. Wipe up any
spillage immediately. Material used to contain spillage must be
disposed of in an approved receptacle. Any fuel system service
must be performed in a well‑ventilated area. Inspect any
completed service work for sign of fuel leakage.

Visually inspect the fuel line and primer bulb for cracks, swelling,
leaks, hardness, or other signs of deterioration or damage. If any
of these conditions are found, the fuel line or primer bulb must be
replaced.
