Inspection

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

Check For Fuel Leaks

  1. Turn ignition switch "ON" with the engine stopped. With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, check for fuel leaks at connection points. Repair as necessary. NOTE: Use mirrors for checking at points out of clear sight.
  2. Start the engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leaks at connection points. Repair as necessary. CAUTION: Do not touch the engine immediately after stopped, as the engine becomes extremely hot.
