3.12 Fuel Filter
See Graphic: wc_gr002879
Dirt is the primary cause of carburetor problems. Unfiltered fuel can
quickly plug the passages in the carburetor and cause poor
performance. Two different styles of fuel filters are used with the WM
80 engine. One is an in-tank, self-cleaning style (h), the other is an in-
line replaceable filter (i). No matter the style, it is imperative the fuel
filter be clean. Check in-line fuel filters often and replace at regular
intervals. Check in-tank fuel filters yearly. Clean the filter by back
flushing with solvent. Replace the fuel filter if necessary. See section
Periodic Maintenance Schedule.
3.13 Fuel Hoses
Check the condition of the fuel hoses frequently and make sure they
are adequately clamped at the tanks and the filters.
Use extreme caution when working on the fuel system. Do not spill fuel
on yourself or others. Clean up any spilled fuel. See section Engine
Safety.
