CLEANING AND INSPECTION

Removing the fuel meter body assembly from the engine requires removing the top portion of the intake manifold, called the upper manifold assembly and throttle body.

An 8 digit part identification number is XXXXX a mylar label affixed to one of the fuel meter body assemblies. Refer to this number if servicing or part replacement is required.

NOTICE: Do not use a cleaner which contains methyl ethyl ketone. This extremely strong solvent is not necessary for this type of cleaning. Use a carburetor cleaner in order to remove deposits. Refer to the package instructions on the use of the product.

NOTICE: Cover the injector sockets in order to prevent dirt and other contaminants from entering the open fuel passages.

• Before removal, the fuel meter body assembly may be cleaned with a spray type engine cleaner, GM X-30A or the equivalent.
• Follow the package instructions.
• Do not soak fuel meter body assemblies in liquid cleaning solvent.
