The length of the pulse hose from the fuel pump is important
for efficient pump operation. If the hose is to be replaced, be
sure to replace with a hose of the same length and approved
material.
Observe and identify the supply and pulse hoses.
Remove the hoses, plug the fuel lines and remove the
pump by removing the two mounting screws and remov-
ing the pump (Ref. Fig. 7 on Page H-6).
Installation is in the reverse order of disassembly. Be
sure to connect the pulse line to the correct location on
the pump (Ref. Fig. 7 on Page H-6).

Fuel is supplied to the fuel pump and carburetor through
flexible fuel hoses. An in-line filter is installed in the hose
between the fuel tank and the fuel pump (Ref. Fig. 8 on
Page H-7).
Fig. 8 Fuel Lines and Filter
To prevent possibility of personal injury, tests
that involve fuel flow should be avoided if at all
possible. If a test to determine fuel/vapor pres-
ence or flow is required, the ignition system
must be disabled. Remove the input wires to
the coil in order to prevent an ignition spark
that could ignite the fuel/vapor. Never permit
smoking or an open flame in an area that con-
tains fuel/vapor. Clean up all fuel spills immedi-
ately.
The fuel filter, tank, hoses and cap should be checked
frequently for leaks, or signs that the cap vent or filter
have become clogged. The filter should be replaced as
required. See ‘Periodic Service Schedule’ in Section ‘A’.
The filter is marked with a flow direction arrow. Be sure
that the arrow points towards the fuel pump.
To prevent possibility of injury from explosion
or fire, never attempt to repair a damaged or
leaking fuel tank. It must be replaced.
