fuel system. The five main components are the fuel tank, fuel tank
breather, fuel filter, delivery tubes, and carburetor.

any foreign material in the felt or the
internal screen.
26.2
Test the main fuel pick-up tube for
leaks.

B. Pressurize the tube to 7psi (0.5 bar).
C. If the pressure does not maintain,
separate the fuel line from the
carburetor.
D. Plug one end of the main fuel pick-
up tube.
E. Re-pressureize the tube to 7psi (0.5
bar).
