FUEL LINES
Read DANGER and WARNING on page 14-1.
The fuel lines must be properly routed, and all hose clamps must be tight. The fuel lines should be kept
clean. See following WARNING.
∆ WARNING
• Make sure fuel lines are the right length and are properly routed. Failure to heed this warning
could result in damage to fuel lines and fire.
Fuel line No. 1 runs directly from the fuel tank to the fuel filter (17). The primary fuel filter (17) has an arrow
indicating fuel flow direction (Figure 14-15, Page 14-20).
Fuel line No. 2 runs directly from the fuel filter to the fuel inlet of the fuel pump.
Fuel line No. 3 runs directly from the fuel outlet of the fuel pump to the secondary fuel filter (Figure 14-15,
Page 14-20). The secondary fuel filter has an arrow indicating fuel flow direction and is identical to the pri-
mary fuel filter.
Fuel line No. 4 runs from the outlet of the secondary fuel filter to the carburetor (Figure 14-15, Page 14-20).
Small spring steel band clamps are used on all hose connections except at the carburetor. A screw band
clamp should be used at the carburetor (Figure 14-15, Page 14-20).
