IMPORTANT: Visually inspect for fuel leakage from the filter
connections by squeezing the primer bulb until firm, forcing fuel
into the filter.
Steering Link Rod Fasteners
IMPORTANT: The steering link rod that connects the steering
cable to the engine must be fastened using the steering link rod
fastening hardware supplied with engine. Never replace the
locknuts (11‑16147‑‑3) with common nuts (non‑locking) as they
will work loose and vibrate off, freeing the link rod to disengage.
