MAINTENANCE
Carburetor
Water/Sediment Trap Service
Drain the water/sediment traps located at the bottom of each carburetor
about every 1000 miles (1600 km). Inspect for contamination.
WARNING! When draining the traps, fuel spillage will occur. Always work in a
well ventilated area away from anything that may cause the fuel to ignite, such
as open flames, sparks, heaters, trouble lights, cigarettes, etc. Review the
gasoline warnings found on page 47.
1. Turn the fuel valve off.
2. Position a container or shop towels
below the plug to catch the contami-
nated gasoline.
3. Slide the clamp away from the drain
plug and remove the drain plug from
the sediment tube.
4. Wipe residue from the plug and reinstall
it. Reposition and tighten the clamps.
5. Repeat the draining procedure for any
remaining traps.
