Maintenance
Checking the Fuel Cap
WARNING:
A leaking fuel cap is a fire hazard and must be
replaced immediately.
The fuel cap contains a non-serviceable filter and check
valve. A clogged fuel filter causes poor engine performance.
If performance improves when the fuel cap is loosened,
the check valve may be faulty or the filter may be clogged.
Replace the fuel cap if necessary.
