FUEL  FILTER 

The  fuel  filter  is  attached  to  the 

fuel  pick-up  tube  inside  the  fuel 

tank.  After  each  25  hours  of  use,  it 

should  be  checked  for  dirt  or  damage, 

and  replaced  if  necessary. 

A  wire  with  a  hooked  end  aids  in 

removing  the  filter  from  the  tank. 

Avoid  'damaging  the  fuel  line. 

SPARK  ARRESTOR 

The 

spark 

arrestor 

should 

be 

inspected  and  cleaned  after  each 

20  hours  of  use.  The  spark  arrestor 

is  installed  inside  the  exhaust 

outlet  of  the  muffler,  and  is  secured 

by  one  screw  through  the  side  of  the 

exhaust  outlet  (see  sketch}.  Remove 

the  screw,  and  pull  the  spark 

arrestor  from  inside  the  exhaust 

outlet  tube.  (If  using  pliers,  care 

must  be  used  to  avoid  crushing  the 

spark  arrestor  flange.)  Solvent  and 

stiff  brushing  will  usually  be 

required  for  cleaning.  Re-install  the 

spark  arrestor  and  the  fastening 

screw. 

EXHAUST  MUFFLER 

The  muffler  should  be  inspected  and 

cleaned  after  each  100  hours  of  use. 

The  engine  cover  must  be  removed  for 

access  to  the  muffler.  Four  screws 

(see  sketch)  attach  the  muffler  cover 

to  the  muffler  body.  When  the  cover 

is  removed,  the  spark  arrestor  is 

revealed  in  the  exhaust  outlet  tube 

of  the  muffler  cover.  Remove  the  one 

screw  securing  the  spark  arrestor  to 

the  muffler  cover  and  separate  them. 

Clean  the  cover  and  ,  the  spark 

arrestor. 

( see 

instructions-Spar.k 

Arrestor.)  It  is  not  necessary  to 

remove  the  muffler  body  from  the 

cylinder  for  cleaning,  BUT  special 

care  should  be  taken  to  prevent  any 

debris  from  entering  the  exhaust 

ports.  Use  liquid  gasket  P/N  261910 

to  form  the  gasket  ·  between  the 

muffler  body  and  cover.  Use  Loctite 

P/N  261911  on  the  four  screws 

attaching  the  cover  to  the  muffler 

body.  Secure  the  spark  arrestor  into 

place  with  the  fastening  screw.
