Removing the polymer
sintered filter
- Remove the air filter - see 11.1.
- Pull the foam filter out of the filter
box.
- Pull the polymer sintered filter out of
the filter box.
The bellows can be checked for
leaks with carburetor and crank-
case tester.
The following test is carried out with
the bellows removed from the
machine, but it can also be performed
with the bellows installed in the
machine. To do this, it is only
necessary to pull the air inlet hose off
the nipple.
- Use fuel line and nipple as
adapter to connect bellows to
gauge. Fit the fuel line on
bellows' nipple.
- Push tester's pressure hose onto
the nipple.
- Close the vent screw on the
rubber bulb and pump air into
the bellows until the pressure
gauge shows a reading of
approx. 0.1 bar (1.45 psi).
- If this pressure remains constant
for one minute, the bellows are
airtight. If not, install new bellows.
