INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT: Visually inspect for fuel leakage from the filter by
squeezing the primer bulb until firm, forcing fuel into the filter.
1. Push the filter element into the cover.
2. Place the O‑ring seal into its proper position on the sight bowl
and screw the sight bowl hand‑tight into the cover.
3. Push the filter assembly back into the mount.
Steering Link Rod Fasteners
IMPORTANT: The steering link rod that connects the steering
cable to the engine must be fastened using special washer head
bolt ("e" Part Number 10‑856680) and self‑locking nylon insert
locknuts ("b" & "d" ‑ Part Number 11‑826709113). These locknuts
must never be replaced with common nuts (non‑locking) as they
will work loose and vibrate off, freeing the link rod to disengage.
