FUEL SYSTEM
Read all of Section Band this section before attempting any procedure. Pay particular attention to all Notes, Cautions and Warnings
Prolonged Storage
The recommended storage method is to operate the
vehicle for the later part of the operational season with
fuel stabilizer added to the bulk storage tank according to
the manufacturers directions. Maintain as little fuel as
possible in the individual vehicle tank. It is desirable to
use
fresh
fuel with the correct volatility. Attempt to mini
mize bulk storage of fuel over the winter months. For win
ter or prolonged storage, raise the rear of the vehicle
(see lifting instructions in Section B) and support on jack
stands. Add fuel stabilizer to the tank in accordance with
the manufacturer's recommendations. Disconnect the
fuel line from the engine at the fuel tank. With proper
ventilation, start the engine and allow to run until the
engine stops due to lack of fuel. Drain carburetor bowl

using drain screw and re-tighten the drain screw.
Remove the air filter and spray a commercial fogging or
cylinder oil into the carburetor while operating the starter
for 2-3 seconds. Reinstall the air filter and reattach the
fuel line to the tank.
When the vehicle is to be used again, the carburetor
bowl float drain valve must be closed and the fuel tank
filled with fresh 87 (minimum) octane fuel. The addition of
fresh fuel mixed with the small quantity of stabilized fuel
left in the fuel tank will provide satisfactory fuel to operate
the vehicle.
The fuel tank can be removed only by removing the rear
body, seat support panel and seat frame and unbolting
the tank (See BODY section).
