4-6 Inspecting tank vent
NOTE:
Tank vent prevents a vacuum from forming in fuel tank when fuel in fuel tank is being consumed.
When pressure in fuel tank becomes too high, tank vent releases the pressure.
Inspection using Pressure / vacuum tester 91149
1. Remove tank vent (A) from rear handle (Refer to
“4-5 Disassembling carburetor, fuel line and tank
vent).
2. Connect Pressure / vacuum tester 91149 (B) to
tank vent (A).
3. Apply pressure approx. 0.05 MPa (0.5 kgf/cm
2
) (7
psi). Make sure pressure is stable in range of 0.01
- 0.04 MPa (0.1 - 0.4 kgf/cm
2
) (1.4 - 5.7 psi).
4. If it is not in the range, gently clean tank vent (A)
with compressed air or replace with new one.
NOTE:
Do not disassemble valve in tank vent as-
sembly. Damage to valve will occur.
5. Apply negative pressure 0.02 MPa (0.2 kgf/cm
2
) (3 psi).
6. Tank vent should pass air freely without holding any pressure. If it does not, replace tank vent with new one.
Inspection using Pressure tester 897803-30133
If Pressure / vacuum tester 91149 is not available,
tank vent can be inspected with Pressure tester
897803-30133 as follows.
1. Connect tank vent (A) to Pressure tester
897803-30133 (D).
2. Apply pressure approx. 0.05 MPa (0.5 kgf/cm
2
) (7
psi), make sure pressure is stable in range of 0.01
- 0.04 MPa (0.1 - 0.4 kgf/cm
2
) (1.4 - 5.7 psi).
3. If it is not in the range, gently clean tank vent
with compressed air or replace with new one.
NOTE:
Do not disassemble valve in tank vent as-
sembly as shown. Damage to valve will occur.
4. Remove wire (E), filter (F) and cap (G) from tank
vent and clean sponge (H).
5. Cut pipe 363011-00210 (J: 7x11x170mm) and
382011-01110 (K: 9x13x350) in approx. 30mm (1
1/4 in) length, and connect them to pressure tester
as shown. Connect tank vent without cap to pipe
as shown.
6. Plug hole (a) with finger and apply pressure 0.2
MPa (0.2 kgf/cm
2
) (3 psi). The pressure should
hold steady.
7. Remove finger from hole (a). Tank vent should
pass air freely without holding any pressure. If it
does not, replace tank vent with new one.
