WARNING
Avoid serious injury or death from gasoline fire or explosion. Carefully follow all fuel system service instructions.
Always stop the engine and do not smoke or allow open flames or sparks in the area while servicing any part
of the fuel system.
Before servicing any part of the fuel system, stop engine and disconnect the battery. Drain the fuel system
completely. Use an approved container to collect and store fuel. Wipe up any spillage immediately. Material used
to contain spillage must be disposed of in an approved receptacle. Any fuel system service must be performed in
a well ventilated area. Inspect any completed service work for sign of fuel leakage.
FUEL LINE INSPECTION
Visually inspect the fuel line and primer bulb for cracks, swelling, leaks, hardness, or other signs of deterioration
or damage. If any of these conditions are found, the fuel line or primer bulb must be replaced.
FUEL LINE FILTER - MODELS WITH CARBURETORS
Inspect the fuel line filter. If the filter appears to be contaminated, remove and replace.
IMPORTANT: Visually inspect for fuel leakage from the filter connections by squeezing the primer bulb until firm,
forcing fuel into the filter.
WATER SEPARATING FUEL FILTER - MODELS WITH ELECTRONIC FUEL
INJECTION (EFI)
NOTE: The warning system will turn on when water in the fuel filter reaches the full level. See Features & Controls
- Warning System.
The water separating fuel filter removes moisture and also debris from the fuel. If the filter becomes filled with
water, the water can be removed. If the filter becomes plugged with debris, the filter must be replaced with a new
filter.
