Suction head in the fuel tank
– The felt filter (1) of the suction head is used to filter the fuel required
by the carburetor.
– A periodical visual inspection of the felt filter is to be conducted.
For that purpose, open the tank cap, use a wire hook and pull out the
suction head through the tank opening.
Filters found to have hardened, been polluted or clogged up are to be
replaced.
– Insufficient fuel supply can result in the admissible maximum speed
being exceeded. It is therefore important to replace the felt filter at
least quarterly to ensure satisfactory fuel supply to the carburetor.
Cleaning of muffler exhaust port
– Check of muffler exhaust port (2) regularly.
– If it is clogged by carbon deposits, carefully scratch the deposits out
with a suitable tool.
Do not allow carbon to fall into engine ports.
