INSPECTING
1. Inspect the fuel screen and blow clean with low pres-
sure compressed air.
2. Move the float lever and check for free movement.
The float assembly should return to the lower position
without force. If not, replace the fuel pump assembly.
3. Test the fuel level sensor by connecting a multimeter
(A) to the fuel level sensor leads (B); then select
OHMS. The multimeter should show 5 ohms at full fuel
position (C) and 95 ohms at empty fuel position (D).
