Re: Yamaha VST Filter cleaning with Photo
Red Reg: First I got the manual, that will help somewhat. Then I just looked at the whole assembly to understand what goes where.<br /><br /> There are 3 bolts that hold the VST to the block. They are hard to get to, but you can do it with some patience. Once these come out, the VST kinda just hangs there. I tried to get all the little philips screws off at that point, but a few got stuck, so I had to disconnect all the hoses and a couple of wires to take the tank to my bench.<br /><br /> With some luck, I got all the screws out. The lower part of the VST tank just drops off. The filter is at the bottom and twists off.<br /><br /> I will probably take Ray's advice and buy a new one so I start fresh.<br /><br /> As for refilling the tank, I assume that if you just pump the bulb and crank the engine that the fuel and oil will mix properly and the tank will fill that way.<br /><br /> Perhaps it may be better to add some premix to the whole thing beforehand ?? That's a good question for Ray and Rodbolt.<br /><br /><br />John
