GAS CAP
Disassembly
1. The gas cap used on the OHV engine is a
two piece design, however; no disassembly
is recommended. The inner sealing disc is
riveted into the plastic cap. See Fig. 3-1
1.
Figure 3-11
Service
1. The tank should provide a free gravity flow
of fuel to the carburetor (the tank
is higher
than the carburetor).
If a free flow of fuel is
not evident (the engine is starving for fuel)
loosen the cap and see if fuel flow is
re-established.
2.
If the fuel flow improves, the cap is not
venting. Examine the vent hole in the
sealing disc and the cap to make sure they
are unobstructed.
Reassembly
1. Make sure the vent opening in the sealing
disc is turned 90 degrees from the vent
opening in the cap.
2. Remount the cap.
FUEL TANK AND FILTER
Disassembly
1. Drain the fuel tank with a siphon pump.
Make sure you transfer the fuel to an
approved container.
2. Disconnect the fuel hose at the carburetor.
Refer to Fig. 3-1.
3. Wipe up any fuel that may have drained out
of the hose when disconnected.
Service
1. If the fuel filter is plugged, clogged or dirty,
replace it. See Fig. 2-9 on page
8.
2. This is the only fuel filter in the system and
must be replaced with the same
84 micron
filter. Part number 56-6360.
3. If the fuel tank is dirty or contaminated,
wash the tank in parts cleaning solvent and
dry completely.
