    Default Different Bill,

    John, here is an old link that Neil Despande had posted a long time ago, its no longer on the web but the wayback machine still has it here
    It takes a while for the pics to load from the wayback machine so be patient.
    Its one of the better writeups around for changing the pollen filter.

Make sure you get FI fuel hose and not regular carb hose (rated up to 30 psi I believe). Also, purchase FI fuel hose clamps as they will not crush the hose as much as the regular screw clamps will. Hope this helps.
    Thanks for the info! I'll grab some today and redo the whole thing this week.

    Simple to do. I use the same procedure Bill R. references. Works like a champ.
