4.
If pickup tube removal is desired, it can be
removed by removing the primer pump as
described under step of Primer Pump
Disassembly.
5.

FUEL CAP
Fuel Cap Operation
The fuel tank cap on the TC1000 is somewhat
complex due to the requirements of the appli-
cation. The cap must vent in order to prevent a
vacuum or pressure buildup within the tank but
must also prevent leakage of fuel.
The cap accomplishes the above by using a
system of valves which work under different
conditions, When the tank is under
pressure,
the
following occurs: See Fig
44.
