AIR INTAKE SYSTEM
33
Carburetor Insulator
To remove/replace the carburetor insulator:
1. Remove the air filter housing by following the previ-
ously described steps.
NOTE: Drain the fuel tank or clamp the fuel line before
starting work to prevent spillage.
NOTE: Dispose of drained fuel in a safe and responsible
manner.
2. Remove the carburetor.
2a. Remove and discard the fuel line.
NOTE: Disconnecting the fuel line causes tiny tears in the
inner lining of the fuel line. These tears will col-
lapse the inner lining, cutting off fuel flow.
2b. Double-nut the studs for removal, with a washer
between the serrated faces of the nuts. See
Figure 3.12.
2c. After the second stud is removed, the carbure-
tor can be maneuvered to disconnect the link-
ages. See Figure 3.13.
To avoid personal injury or property damage, use extreme care in handling gasoline. Gaso-
line is extremely flammable and the vapors are explosive. Serious personal injury can occur
when gasoline is spilled on yourself and/or your clothes which can ignite. Wash your skin
and change clothes immediately
