THE FUEL SYSTEM AND GOVERNOR
27
Inspect the fuel lines
• Are they cracked?
• Are they clogged?
• Are they brittle?
NOTE: If the answer to any of the above is yes,
replace the fuel lines. When replacing fuel lines,
low permeable fuel line must be used in order to
meet EPA and CARB standards.
NOTE: The nipple has a sharp edge that will
damage the inner lining of the fuel line. Replace
the fuel line every time it is removed from the
carburetor fuel nipple.
When working around the fuel
system, do not bring any sources
of heat, spark, or open flame near
the work area.
• Drain the fuel tank before starting work to pre-
vent spillage.
• Dispose of drained fuel in a safe and responsible
manner.
