Fuel Filter Cup Cleaning
The fuel filter cup is a small well underneath the fuel valve which helps trap dirt and water that may be in the fuel tank before entering the engine.
To clean the fuel filter cup:
1. Turn the fuel valve to the “off” position.
2. Unscrew the fuel filter cup from the fuel valve using a wrench. (Turn the valve toward you to unscrew as illustrated in Figure 15.)
3. Using a rag or brush, clean the cup of all sediment.
4. Reinstall the fuel filter cup.
