installed and tightened.

secured. The use of a“jam nut”is
encouraged on 4-cycle engines.

line(s) are properly connected, The
main line should be connected to the
carburetor nipple on the carburetor
spray bar
NOTE: If your Saito engine is
equipped with dual carburetors it’s
imperative that the fuel lines are
identical in length from the Y-fitting
