INSPECTING FUEL FILTER
w
Gasoline (petrol) is highly flammable, and
its vapors are flammable and explosive.
8 If you have any question about properly
doing this procedure, consult your
Yamaha dealer.
8 Do not perform this procedure on a hot
or running engine. Allow the engine to
cool.
8 There will be fuel in the fuel filter. Keep
away from sparks, cigarettes, flames or
other sources of ignition.
8 This procedure will allow some fuel to
spill. Catch fuel in a rag. Wipe up any
spilled fuel immediately.
8 The fuel filter must be reassembled
carefully with O-ring, filter cup, and
hoses in place. Improper assembly or
replacement can result in a fuel leak,
which could result in a fire or explosion
hazard.

NOTE:
If any water is in the fuel, the red float in
the fuel filter unit will rise. If so, remove
the cup and drain the water.
1) Remove the filter cup 1, catching any
spilled fuel in a container.
2) Remove the filter element 2, wash it
in solvent, and allow it to dry. Inspect
the filter element, O-ring 3, and float
5 to make sure they are in good con-
dition, and replace if necessary.
3) Re-install the filter element in the fil-
ter housing 4 and properly re-insert
the float into the filter cup.
