HOW DO I REMOVE THE SIDE PANELS ATTACHED TO THE TANK WHEN BECAUSE I WANT TO CHANGE THE PLUG'S AND AIR FILTER

Stand the bike upright. Remove the dipstick from the oil tank. Remove the drain plug on the bottom right side of the frame. While the oil is draining, replace the oring on the drain plug. Remove and replace the oil filter, after filling the new filter half full of oil. Replace the drain plug. Put 3 quarts of oil in the oil tank. Replace the dipstick. Start the bike and check for leaks. No leaks, you're done! I use HD Syn 3 synthetic oil in my '04 Fatboy, but you can also use a conventional 20w50, as long as it's made for use in and air cooled motorcycle. Don't use car oil!

hello sir,routing fuel line for craftsman,homelite,ryobi,hedge and line trimmers,fuel tank under engine, looking at machine from rear, shall fuel line on left with filter attached goes to bottom port of carb, fuel line from right side coming out of tank with inside tip attached goes to bottom port of primmer bulb,top line on primmer bulb goes to top port of carb, fuel tank under engine,fuel line routing,looking at machine from left side, left fuel line coming out of tank(drain back only) goes to right side small port of primmer bulb, left side larger fuel line from primmer bulb to top port of carb, fuel line coming out of tank (larger line) on the right side with filter attached goes to bottom port of carb, when replacing fuel line it is very important to use the same ID and OD line the homelite takes a special line that is black in color and a bigger size,the bigger line is ID .08-OD140 small line ID3/32 X 3/16.when the lines dissolve small pieces will get in the carb clogging small passages and screen,it is advisable that you clean out carb,and use a new filter.hope this helps,any comments welcome,thank you. if the filter has broken off of the line half way that is where you will run out of fuel, oo

1. Check the gap at the base of the new spark plugs with a spark plug gap tool. If the gap on any plug is not between 0.039 and 0.043, exchange the plug for a new one. Do not attempt to adjust the gap on the plugs.
2. Open the two latches on the passenger's side of the air-filter box. Pull the front half of the air box toward the front of the engine and push it to the side. Remove the air filter from inside the air-filter box. This allows you access to the ignition coil packs.
3. Unplug the wiring harness from the top of one coil pack. Remove the bolt securing the coil pack with a ratchet and socket, and pull the coil up from the engine.
4. Remove the spark plug using a ratchet, 6-inch extension and a spark plug socket.
5. Hand-tighten the new spark plug into the RAV4's engine and torque it to 14 foot-pounds with a torque wrench, 6-inch extension and a spark plug socket.
6. Squeeze a small amount of dielectric grease into the rubber boot at the bottom of the ignition coil pack. Push the coil pack onto the new spark plug until it clicks into place. Tighten the coil pack bolt to 6 to 7 foot-pounds with a torque wrench, 6-inch extension and a spark plug socket. Reconnect the wiring harness on the top of the coil pack.
7. Replace all four spark plugs, by repeating Steps 4 through 7 on all four plugs.
8. Sit the air filter back into the air-filter box. Reinstall the front half of the air-filter box and close the latches to lock it in place.


good luck

The plug is under the gas tank. They can be difficult to get to and you may have to remove/loosen the tank. If you can remove the spark plug wire you could test for spark. If you have a spark and it still doesn't crank the spark plug is probably the least of your worries unless you drained the tank and the carb (most people don't.)
If you have a spark give a spritz of starter fluid into the carb after removing the air filter and see if it runs for even a bit. If it does fire and doesn't run, clean the carb.
Good luck.

Hi,

The gas filter is inside the gas tank. If you're wanting to change the filter, first remove all gas from the tank.
Next, remove cover and probably the air filter so you can see the fuel lines.
Use a needle nose pliers to grab the filter through the tank opening.
Some chain saws have 2 lines coming from the tank. Give a little tug on the gas filter to see which line it is attached to inside.
You will have to remove the line at the other end where it attaches to the pump or crankcase.
Pull the filter and line up and out of the tank. Put on a new filter and pull the line back to the nipple it was attached to.
Push down on the filter to seat it in the opening.

Depending on the make and model of your chainsaw, some have washers under the filter that seat against the inside of the fuel tank. Be sure to press this kind to seat it.

Hope this helps. If it does. I'd appreciate a 4 thumbs up. Thanks,

Hi, I have pasted instructions for replacing the fuel filter below, but that may not be the problem. A lot of things can cause those trouble codes. I recommend you also clean your MAF sensor and check for vacuum leaks. Check all hoses attached to the intake manifold for cracks--especially the big air inlet hose. The MAF is accessible from the air filter housing. Remove the air filter and look into the big pipe toward the engine. The sensor sticks down into the airstream. Use a spray can of electric parts cleaner to spray the sensor several times. Do you touch or wipe the sensor. Please let me know if you have more questions, and thanks for using FixYa.


1. The filter is in front of the fuel tank on the right side.

1. Properly relieve the fuel system pressure.
2. Remove or disconnect the following:
   
   Negative battery cable and fuel filler cap, if not already done
   
3. Raise and support the vehicle.
   
   Fuel tank shield, if equipped Quick connect fittings from the filter Filter feed nut and the clamp bolt Filter and the clamp from the filter
   
   

To install:

1. Install or connect the following:
   NOTE The filter has an arrow (fuel flow direction) on the side of the case, be sure to install it correctly in the system, the with arrow facing away from the fuel tank.

2. Start the engine and check for leaks.

Hi
Remove side panels, seat & tank to access air-box, the K&N should be a straight swop

1. Remove fuel filter Fig. 8 .

NOTE: The fuel supply (to filter) tube, return tube (to pump module) are permanently attached to the fuel filter.

• The ends of the fuel supply and return tubes have different size quick-connect fittings.
• The larger quick-connect fitting connects to the large nipple (supply side) on the fuel pump module.
• The smaller quick-connect fitting attaches to the small nipple (return side) on the fuel pump module.

Apply a light coating of clean 30 weight engine oil to the fuel filter nipples. Install fuel tubes.

1. Install fuel tank, filter and tank straps. Torque tank strap bolts to 23 Nm (250 in lbs) . Make sure pump module harness grommet is installed in body as tank is raised into position.
2. Lower vehicle and connect pump module connector.
3. Fill tank with fuel.

1. Undo the two screws for the fuel tank (steering side, not seat side)
2. Lift tank, unplug all attachments to airbox.
3. Loosen screws on the left and right of airbox to loosen from the carbs and remove air filter box.
3. You should see four black 'things' with wires attached at the top of the engine - unplug wires and pull the black plugs out.
4. If possible, use compressed air to clean out the holes before attempting spark removal. Sand can sometimes get in there.
4. Insert spark plug socket in the holes to remove and replace.

Normanbowes. As per the Haynes manual. Remove the tank after removing two side panels. Air filter and sub air filter housed under the tank. Make sure to disconnect the battery. If you are not good with spanners get it done professionally as there are a lot of parts / panels to be removed and replaced. Hope this is helpful
