Replacing the suction head
The fuel tank filter
(13)
of the suction head can become clogged.
It is recommended to replace the suction head once every three
months in order to ensure unimpeded fuel flow to the carburetor.
Unscrew the fuel tank cap
(12)
and pull the loss-prevention
stopper out.
Empty fuel tank.
To remove the suction head for replacement, pull it out through
the tank filler neck using a piece of wire bent at one end to form
a hook.
CAUTION:
Do not allow fuel to come into contact with skin!
