Suction head in the fuel tank
– The fuel filler (5) of the suction head is used to filler the fuel required by the
carburetor.
– A periodical visual inspection of the fuel 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 fuel filter at least quarterly
to ensure satisfactory fuel supply to the carburetor.
Checking the spark plug
– Only use the supplied universal wrench to remove or to install the spark plug.
– The gap between the two electrodes of the spark plug should be 0.6-0.7mm
(0.024”-0.028”). If the gap is too wide or too narrow, adjust it. If the spark
plug is clogged with carton or fouled, clean it thoroubhly or replace it.
CAUTION : Never touch the spark plug connector while the engine is running
(danger of high voltage electric shock).
