The fuel filter:
The fuel filter is located in the fuel tank. It can be
removed and cleaned with a can of carb cleaner or
replaced. See Figure 4.5.
On some early production engines, an in-line filter was
used. See Figure 4.6.

Inspect the fuel lines:
• Are they cracked?
• Are they clogged?
• Are they brittle?
NOTE: If the answer to any of the above is yes,
replace the fuel lines. When replacing fuel lines,
low permeable fuel line must be used in order to
meet EPA and CARB standards.
CAUTION: When working around the fuel sys-
tem, do not bring any sources of heat, spark, or
open flame near the work area.
NOTE: The nipple has a sharp edge that will
damage the inner lining of the fuel line. Replace
the fuel line every time it is removed from the
carburetor fuel nipple.
• Drain the fuel tank or clamp the fuel line before
starting work to prevent spillage.
• Dispose of drained fuel in a safe and responsible
manner.
The fuel tank:
The fuel tank is secured to a bracket on the back of the
engine. See Figure 4.7.
To remove the fuel tank:
1. Drain the tank.
2. Disconnect the fuel line from the tank.
3. Remove the fuel cap.
4. Unbolt, and remove the tank.
5. Install by following the above steps in reverse
order.
