Fuel Tank Removal
I.
Loosen the
two
locknuts and the corresponding
hex screws that retain the fuel tank guard. Remove
the fuel tank guard. See Figure 35.
3. Remove the fuel tank.
4. The bracket can be removed,
if
necessary, by
removing the single machine screw retaining
it
to
the crankcase.
5.
The strap can be removed,
if
necessary, by
backing out the four Phillips fan housing screws
approximately 3/16' each. This will provide
sufficient clearance to remove the strap.
IMPORTANT:
(TC5000
only)
Do
not loosen the
fan housing screws unless absolutely
necessary as loosening them
will
affect the
ignition coil air gap.
If
removal of the strap is
necessary,
do
not forget to reset the air gap
before running engine.
