Air Cleaner Maintenance
Routine maintenance of the air cleaner helps maintain proper airflow to the carburetor.
Occasionally check that the air cleaner is free of excessive dirt.
1. Unhinge the clasps at the top and bottom of the air cleaner cover (see
figure 18).
2. Remove the sponge-like elements from the casing.
3. Wipe the dirt from inside the empty air cleaner casing.
4. Wash the sponge-like elements in household dish detergent and warm water.
5. Allow the elements to dry completely.
6. Soak the dry elements in a small amount of engine oil. Ring out any excess oil.
7. Replace the sponge-like elements in the air cleaner casing and replace the
cover.

Fuel Filter Cup Cleaning
The fuel filter cup is a small well underneath the fuel valve. It helps to trap dirt and water
that may be in your fuel tank before it can enter the engine.
To clean the fuel filter cup:
1. Turn the fuel valve to the “OFF” position.
2. Unscrew the fuel filter cup from the fuel valve using a wrench. Turn the valve
towards you to unscrew (see figure 19).
3. Clean the cup of all sediment using a rag or brush.
4. Reinstall the fuel filter cup.
