Changing Air Filters

[StuMiller]

Just had a shit time getting to the air filter....

I downloaded the service manual off the net just to ensure I knew what to do given this was my first attempt.

I turned the fuel tap to off. Then I removed the fuel line to the filter. For some reason, the instruction manual told me to remove the screw that hold the tap in it's housing. So I did.....fuel stared to flow from the outlet to the filter given I had taken the pressure off the gasket. Then the fuel tap itself came loose from the tap housing, gasket and all.

Well fuck I say, I had fuel pissing out the outlet to the filter and the tap housing. Luckily I only had a quarter of a tank, but next thing I know I had fuel running down my arm whislt trying to put the fuel tap back in its housing.

I put the hose back on the outlet and managed to stem the flow of fuel from the housing long enough for me to cut a length of garden hose and drain the remainder of the tank....

Gave me the shits....tank is now off, tap is now fixed and the BMC / K&N (not too sure which one to get yet) air filter is ready to go on......

Plugs are next whilst all this is off, oil, oil filter, chain lube and a dyno tune are to come in readiness for it's first track day. Anyone know of a good place to have a dynotune done, eastern suburbs of Melbourne (Rowville)?

Not happy Jan!!

I think the screw they refer to is the one holding the plastic tap knob to the fuel tap itself NOT the fuel tap in to the tank .................but you realise that now
