To clean nylon filter, float chamber lid and float chamber proceed as follows:
1. Remove fuel inlet pipe and float chamber vent pipe.
2. Remove heat insulation cover.
3. Unscrew plug from float chamber lid and remove filter.
4. Remove three retaining screws and washers. Tap side of float chamber lid sharply with screwdriver handle if necessary to separate from gasket.

5. Examine float needle tip for wear or damage. Examine seating in lid. Replace any faulty parts.
6. If gasket has been cut and part removed, obtain a new float chamber and valve body gasket and cut and fit adjacent to the existing valve body gasket.
7. Install float in main body and check for end-float of hinge pin in body and clearance around the float. Remove float. Place cut gasket into position on main body.
8. Drop needle into seating of inverted float chamber lid. Then ensure the float needle is correctly located on float lever by wire stirrup.

Holding the float assembly to face of lid with the tip of steel rule or feeler gauge, position the lid over the float chamber close enough to allow the float assembly to be dropped so that the hinge pin falls into the recesses in the body without disengaging the needle from the seating bore.
