the tightening force suddenly increases.

the priming pump 90±10°.

Never fail to tighten the priming pump to the speci-
fied angle. If the priming pump is not firmly tightened,
internal thread will be worn due to engine vibration,
resulting in sudden ejection of the cap to cause fuel
flow-out. Or if the priming pump is excessively tight-
ened, the head of the priming pump can be dam-
aged.
