Summary of the Safety Concern:
DUE TO THE OPERATION OF THE DUAL FUEL OPTION THERE EXISTS THE POTENTIAL FOR BACKFIRE THROUGH THE CARBURETOR. THIS CAN CAUSE CARBURETOR DAMAGE DUE TO EXCESSIVE PRESSURES. ALSO, FUEL LEAKAGE COULD OCCUR WHEN THE SYSTEM IS REVERTING TO GASOLINE FUEL OPERATION. |

Remedy:
THE DEALER WILL INSTALL A NEW AIR FILTER AND SPARK ARRESTER DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO THE L.P. CARBURETOR TO PROVIDE INCREASED AIR FLOW CAPACITY. THIS WILL MINIMIZE BACKFIRE POTENTIAL AND ELIMINATE THE POSSIBILITY FOR EXCESSIVE PRESSURE BUILD-UP IN THE CARBURETOR. |
