Can someone her please tell me how I can clean my fuel selector valve?

Best way, is to remove from boat/ski, then with compressed air, switch from "on" and then "reserve", visa-versa, But shoot air from bottom spigot, since clogged came from tank/deteriated lines to begin with...:cheers:

How do you remove from an XP?

I don't know if you have seen an XP, but Space is extremely tight.

Does anyone know how to remove the fuel selector from the hull of the Ski?


Thnx! Greg

If same as others....remove the center cap, and remove the screw, pull dial off to expose the black housing screw, undo that and selector will fall inside hull...:cheers:

I will try that when I get home! Do I need any special tools?

I will pray before I do it that nothing gets lost/stuck in the hull! I'm telling you space is TIGHT!

lol...."space is tight"....no special tools, if you can recall, if you have grey fuel lines, stop at auto parts store, and pick up about 15-20ft 1/4in hose and replace the grey, along with hose clamps...:cheers:

Great pointer I was meaning to do that, how many clamps ought to do the trick?

Thanks for the help! Greg

 

[tresvatos1]

How do you get the cap off? Just pull real hard??

Think 20 should do trick,...3-4 on tank, 3 on selector, 10ish in carb area, uhhhh..maybe 25...lol, buy ALOT, and keep receipt...
