Thanks Myron,
I have the 1982 and I downloaded the 1980- 1983 (1980-83 C70 Honda
Service Manual) which shows the square air filter on section 3-4 (Pg 24).
If this is not he correct manual for the 82 could someone give me the URL.
The cover says Honda Shop Manual '80 - '82 "#NA50508111 C".
I have the round air filter and I quit trying to remove it since I didn't
want to break something. Any removal tips will be appreciated.
I have finally figured out the petcock and need to test it to see if I have
good fuel flow from both lines.
Thanks again.
John Esch, Baltimore
