Vacuum test
– Connect hose (2) to vacuum 
pump 0000 850 3501 and test 
fuel tank under vacuum.
Equalization of pressure takes 
place via the tank vent. There must 
be no buildup of vacuum in the tank. 
If the tank vent does not operate 
properly, replace it together with the 
O-ring, b 6.5.2
Pressure test
– Connect the carburetor and 
crankcase tester 1106 850 2905 
to fuel hose (2), b 6.2.1 
– Operate the pump bulb until the 
pressure gauge indicates a 
pressure of 0.5 bar. If this 
pressure remains constant for at 
least 20 seconds, the tank and 
tank vent are airtight. If the 
pressure drops, find the leak and 
replace either the tank (b 6.6.3) 
or the tank vent (b 6.5.2).

disconnect the tester and 
reassemble all parts.
