The inline fuel filter is mounted on the left side of
the engine to the left of the throttle cable mounting.
The fuel/water separator is mounted in the engine com-
partment on the left side above the engine. Moisture
and other foreign matter can accumulate in the fuel fil-
ter. The filter should be changed and the bowl cleaned
periodically (refer to Section 11).
