incorporated within the oil level sender unit. Filter
replacement requires sender replacement.

models is an in-line type. The arrow on the filter
body indicates the oil flow.
All models feature a fuel pickup a with filter located inside
the fuel tank. To inspect and replace:
1. Remove the gas cap.
2. Use a coat hanger to carefully pickup the fuel hose
inside the tank.

hose.
The in tank fuel filter and fuel lines should be inspected
regularly. Special attention should be given to the fuel
line condition after periods of storage.
Normal deterioration from weather and fuel can occur
during this storage period. Do not damage fuel lines
when removing them. If a fuel line has been damaged or
kinked it must be replaced.
