Clean the gauze filter properly.
* A clogged gauze filter may result in insufficient
fuel supply, low power output, or engine stall
during operation.
When replacing the gauze filter,
tighten the new one under the same
condition as the old one was installed.
* Fuel leaks due to the tightening torque being
loose may cause a fire or fuel flow-out, which
results in environmental pollution.
