Spark Arrester
Hard starting or a gradual loss of
performance can be caused by carbon
deposits lodged in the spark arrester
screen. For maximum performance,
the spark arrester screen should be
periodically cleaned as follows:
1. Unscrew the two clutch cover nuts,
and remove the clutch cover (see
page 11).
2. Use a screwdriver to remove the
two spark arrester retaining
screws, and then remove the spark
arrester cover and screen.
3. Use a plastic scraper or wire brush
to remove carbon deposits from the
arrester screen and cover.
4. Inspect the screen carefully, and
replace any screen that has been
perforated, distorted, or is other-
wise unserviceable.
5. Install the screen and cover in the
reverse order of disassembly, and
then tighten the two cover retaining
screws securely.
6. Install the clutch cover and cover
retaining nuts in the reverse order
of removal, and then tighten both
