Removal Ignition
1. Drain the fuel tank. Refer to Fuel System on
page 8.
2. Remove the air cleaner assembly. Refer to

2. With the control bail tensioned (run posi-
tion), the brake pad is pulled away from the
flywheel and the brake lever is rotated away
from the ground tang. See Fig. 3-16. The
ground tang should not have continuity to
ground. This can be tested by disconnect-
ing the kill wire and testing the tang to
ground continuity with a volt-ohmmeter.

its mounting bosses. Be sure to unplug the
kill wire. See Fig. 3-19.
