Fuel tank breather hose

EAU41360

Fuel cock

The fuel cock supplies fuel from the tank to the carburetor while filtering it also.

The fuel cock has two positions:

Off

Before operating the motorcycle:

● Check the fuel tank breather hose connection.

● Check the fuel tank breather hose for cracks or damage, and replace it if damaged.

● Make sure that the end of the fuel tank breather hose is not blocked, and clean it if necessary.

Tip

If the fuel tank breather hose falls out, reinstall it on the fuel tank cap with the arrow mark on the one-way valve pointed downward as shown.

With the lever in this position, fuel will not flow. Always return the lever to this position when the engine is not running.

With the lever in this position, fuel flows to the carburetor. Normal riding is done with the lever in this position.

Starter (choke) knob

Starting a cold engine requires a richer air-fuel mixture, which is supplied by the starter (choke). Move the knob in direction (a) to turn on the starter (choke). Move the knob in direction (b) to turn off the starter (choke).

To start the engine, fold out the kickstarter lever, move it down lightly with your foot until the gears engage, and then push it down smoothly but forcefully. This model is equipped with a primary kickstarter, allowing the engine to be started in any gear if the clutch is disengaged. However, shifting the transmission into the neutral position before starting is recommended.
