Fuel Tank Cap Service
A breather passage is incorporated in
the tank cap. If the breather passage is
clogged, the fuel will not flow into the
carburetor, causing problems with start-
ing or running the engine. At the same
time, make sure that the base of the
breather assembly is fitted firmly into the
groove inside the tank cap as shown.
