Cleaning The Sediment Cup - PRO-POINT 208CC OHV Manuel De L'utilisateur

MODIFYING THE CARBURETOR FOR HIGH ALTITUDES
At high altitude, the standard air-fuel mixture is too rich, causing
increased fuel consumption and decreased performance. A rich
mixture will also foul the spark plug and cause hard starting.
A qualified technician can improve high altitude performance
with certain modifications. Have your carburetor modified if the
engine will routinely be operated at altitudes above 5,000 ft
(1,524 m). Even with carburetor modification, engine power will
decrease about 3.5% for each 1,000 ft (305 m) increase in
altitude. The effect of altitude on engine power will be greater
than this is if no modification is made.
NOTICE! When the carburetor has been modified for high
altitude operation, the air fuel mixture will be too lean for low
altitude use. Operation at altitudes below 5,000 ft (1,524 m) may
cause the engine to overheat and result in serious engine
damage. When using this engine at low altitudes, have a qualified
technician return the carburetor to original factory specifications.

CLEANING THE SEDIMENT CUP

CAUTION! Wear latex or rubber gloves when working on the
sediment cup. The cup may contain fuel that will cause skin
irritation. Prolonged and repeated exposure to fuel on skin may
result in dry, cracked skin.
1. Switch the fuel valve to the OFF position.
2. Remove the fuel sediment cup, screw and o-ring.
3. Clean the sediment cup with a non-flammable solvent or
detergent and rinse. Allow to dry.
3.1 Some chemicals will damage the o-ring material. Check
for compatibility or replace the o-ring.
4. Reassemble the sediment cup and o-ring.
5. Switch the fuel valve to the ON position and check for leaks.
Replace the o-ring if the installation is correct, but fuel still
leaks from the cup.
