CARBURETOR MAINTENANCE
The carburetors will require the sediment in the float bowls be drained periodically. This will ensure
that any contaminants that have accumulated in the float bowls do not enter the main or idle jets of
the carburetors. The fuel can be drained by opening the drains provided on the bottom of the float
bowls.
The fuel filters should also be changed every 10,000 km or when they appear to be dirty or not
flowing fuel correctly. Changing the filters will ensure that clean fuel is provided to the carburetors
and that there is no fuel starvation.
The carburetor to cylinder head adapters should be checked for leaks and cracks every trip. Fail-
ure of the adapters will cause the carburetor fuel mixture to become lean and cause internal dam-
age to the engine.
