FUEL / INTAKE SYSTEM
Water Sediment Trap
Vehicles with carburetors incorporate a patented float bowl
water / sediment traps located at the bottom of each carburetor.
1. Turn the fuel tank supply valve to the “OFF” position.
2. Position a container or shop towels under the work area to
help catch some of the contaminated gasoline.
3. Slide the clamp (A) away from the drain plug (B) and
remove it from the sediment tube and drain the
contaminated material from the bowl. Repeat for each
carburetor.
4. Wipe off the residue from the plug and reinstall the clamps.
Fuel Filter - Carbureted Models
All models feature a fuel pick 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.
3. Inspect and replace the pickup/filter at the end of the hose.
WARNING
When draining the traps, fuel spillage will occur. Be
sure to work in a well ventilated area away from
anything which may cause the fuel to ignite such as an
open flame, heaters, trouble lights or cigarettes.

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.
