TIME OF COMPLIANCE

Fuel nozzles can become clogged with a type of varnish from old fuel or from precipitate particles that are  almost invisible to the naked eye. This condition may be indicated by rough engine operation, uneven idle, a  cold cylinder, or an unusually high fuel flow indication on the gauge. Complete the following steps, in the  order given, to remove, clean, and replace the fuel nozzles.
