8for obstructions. Check the air filter case rubber
joint to the carburetor fittings and the rubber joint
manifold fittings for an air-tight seal. Tighten all fit-

will affect carburetor jetting with subsequent
poor performance and possible engine over-heating.EBU27490Cleaning the spark arrester Be sure the exhaust pipe and muffler are cool be-
