Correct operation of the carburetor
is only possible if atmospheric
pressure and internal fuel tank
pressure are equal at all times. This
is ensured by the tank vent.
In the event of trouble with the
carburetor or the fuel supply
system, always check the tank vent
and replace it if necessary.
Check function by performing
pressure and vacuum tests on fuel
tank via the fuel hoses.
Equalization of pressure from the
outside inwards takes place through
the hole in the filler cap, the sintered
filter, the valve and the holes in the
cap.
