NOTE: Backplate screws supplied with kit have pre-applied thread locking compound on threads. If screw without thread locking compound is used, a
thread locking compound such as Loctite® 242 must be applied to threads, and screws properly tightened. If screws are removed in future, Loctite 242 or
equivalent must be applied before reinstallation.
Failure to apply thread locking compound or properly tighten screws may cause screws to loosen and fall into engine, resulting in engine
damage not covered under warranty.

J. Check fuel needle and seat assembly. Fill gas tank with just enough fuel to test system. Lean motorcycle over towards carburetor side, turn
on fuel petcock and wait 20 seconds. If gas runs out end of carburetor or out overflow hose, turn off petcock and check needle and seat.
See "General Information."
K. Check fuel inlet fitting and fuel line connections for leaks. Hose clamps must be tight.
NOTE: Fuel needle and seat assembly must completely shut off fuel supply to carburetor bowl. Fuel inlet fittings and fuel line connections must not leak.
Gasoline leaking past inlet needle may flood engine causing contamination of oil supply and damage to engine.
Any gasoline leak represents a health and fire hazard.
