Dirty filters cause decreased
engine performance, increase fuel
consumption, and make starting
more difficult.
The air filter must be cleaned
whenever engine performance
begins to suffer.
- Before removing filter, close
choke shutter to prevent dirt
and grime from entering
carburetor, to this end, press
choke trigger forward.
- Loosen hexagon cap nut of
filter cover and remove filter
cover.
- Remove coarse dirt from area
surrounding filter and inside of
filter cover.
- Detach prefilter from main
filter.
- Dry wet prefilter, then firmly
knock out or blow out dirt and
grime.
Note: If dirt and grime cannot be
eliminated in this way, then a new
prefilter must be used.
- Remove main filter from filter
base.
Note: Dirty main filters should be
replaced, in which case the
auxiliary filter should be replaced
at the same time.
- Remove auxiliary filter from
the mount, tap gently to
release dirt and grime, and
wash in clean, nonflammable
cleaning solution (e.g., warm,
soapy water).
Note: Replace auxiliary filters with
damaged flock immediately.
- Inspect O-ring on locator pin,
replace if necessary.
The parts are assembled in
reverse order.
