Replacing the suction head
The felt filter (

) of the suction head can become clogged.
It is recommended to replace the suction head once every
three months in order to ensure unimpeded fuel flow to the
carburetor.
To remove the suction head for replacement, pull it out
through the tank filler neck using a piece of wire bent at one
end to form a hook.
