Fuel pressure inspection

• Keep away from fire or spark.
• Spilled gasoline should be wiped off immediately.
• Work in a well-ventilated area.

Inspect the fuel pressure in the following procedures:

1. 1
   lift and support the fuel tank. Refer to “fuel tank removal and installation” .
2. 2
   Place a rag under the fuel feed hose (1) and remove the fuel feed hose.

   

3. Install the special tools between the fuel pump and fuel delivery pipe.

Special tool (a): 09940–40211 (fuel pressure
gauge adapter) (b): 09940–40220 (fuel pressure
gauge attachment) (c): 09915–77331 (oil pressure gauge
(1000 kpa)) (d): 09915–74521 (adapter hose)

4. Turn the ignition on and check for fuel pressure.

Fuel pressure approx. 300 Kpa (3.0 Kgf/cm2, 43 psi)

If the fuel pressure is lower than the specification, check for the followings:

• fuel hose leakage
• clogged fuel filter
• pressure regulator
• Fuel pump

If the fuel pressure is higher than the specification, check for the followings:

• fuel pump
• pressure regulator

5. Remove the special tools.

Before
removing the special tools, turn the ignition switch off and release the fuel pressure slowly.

6. Reinstall the fuel tank. Refer to “fuel tank removal and installation” .

Note

connect the fuel feed hose to the fuel pump until it locks securely (a click is heard).
