1. Should I be concerned about the melted covering on the choke cable - or is it merely cosmetic?
2. Anyone know what's up with the open-ended hose by the fuel pump?
3. One of the three fuses is missing (under the seat) - I think it's for the display (please see the
pic of the bottom of the display where the third connector is disconnected) - is this commonly
disconnected when the machine gets old?
Thanks!
Also ...
4. I had this fancy filter intended for something else that wasn't used. Look OK?
5. Anything unique about the fuel pump? I'm thinking of replacing it.
6. Is the fuel tank vent OK as is?
Note: I've started replacing the fuel hoses as well.
1. Wouldn’t worry about it.
2. What is connected to the other end of that hose?
3. That’s not a fuse holder, but an electrical plug.
4. Wouldn’t worry about it.
5. Pump looks good.
6. Personally wouldn’t worry about it, but others may disagree.
Looks like the tank vent is popped up out of the tank grommet. And the nipple on the vent is broke off. Normally that vent would sit almost flush with the top of the tank, and the vent line would come off of it below the fender and most likely would connect to that hose in your picture. Everything else looks fine but what that style of fuel filter because they are designed to unscrew to replace the filter element and they will come loose and start leaking.

Is the tank vent replaceable or would the whole tank have to be replaced? OK re. the filter. I put screw clamps on either side of the filter and will keep an eye on it.

Oddly, PartsTree has the wrong part description attached to the image and part number "The purpose of the Fuel Valve, often called a Petcock, is to regulate the flow of fuel through the fuel system. Remember to shut-off the Fuel Valve when the equipment is not in use ..."
