Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Changing Air Filter

A dirty air filter will restrict air flow to the carburetor,

reducing engine performance.

When operating in very dusty areas, clean the air filter

more often than specified in the maintenance schedule.

Dual-Filter Element Types

1. See Figure 4-2. Remove wing nut from air cleaner

cover (A), and remove air cleaner cover.

Figure 4-2. Air Cleaner Components

2. Remove wing nut (B) from air filter, and remove air

filter.

3. Remove foam filter (D) from paper filter (C).

4. Inspect both air filter elements. Replace if dam-

aged.

NOTE: Always replace paper air filter element at sched-

uled interval.

5. Clean air filter elements as follows if they will be

reused:

a. Paper air filter element: Tap filter element sev-

eral times on a hard surface to remove dirt, or

blow compressed air (not exceeding 30 psi

[207 kPa]) through the air filter element from

the inside. Never attempt to brush off dirt;

brushing will force dirt into fibers.

b. Foam air filter element: Clean in warm soapy

water, rinse, and air dry thoroughly. Or, clean in

nonflammable solvent and air dry thoroughly.

Dip filter element in clean engine oil, and

remove excess oil. Engine will smoke when

started if too much oil remains in the foam air

filter element.

6. Use a moist rag to wipe dirt from inside the air

cleaner base and cover. Verify dirt does not enter

the enter the air duct leading to the carburetor.

7. Place foam air filter over paper air filter element,

and install the assembled air filter. Verify gasket is

in place beneath air filter. Tighten air filter wing nut

securely.

8. Install air cleaner cover, and tighten cover wing nut

securely.

Changing Spark Plug

Recommended spark plugs: F7RTC or other equivalents.

1. Disconnect spark plug cap and remove any dirt

from around the spark plug area.

2. See Figure 4-3. Remove spark plug (A) with a

spark plug wrench (B).

Figure 4-3. Remove Spark Plug

3. Inspect spark plug. Replace spark plug if elec-

trodes are worn, or if the insulator is cracked or

chipped.

Risk of fire. Never operate engine without

the air cleaner installed. Operating engine

without the air cleaner could result in death

or serious injury.
