It's pretty easy, just pull the slide out the top, undo the bolts that hold the carb on the motor, undo the gas line. You should have it off in your hand now. Take the phillips screws out of the bottom and there you go. It probably has some water in it, and your motor may also! Make sure there is NO water or dirt in the carb and put it back on, It wouldn't hurt to blow everthing out with carb cleaner as well!:doh: Put it back on and ride!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dont have any picts, some one else may. It is really nothing though! It is just a few bolts and nuts! Drain everthing and check your air filter also! You can remember how it goes, it is easy!

Just take the hose off the tank and put a longer one on it that will reach a gas tank and turn your tank to reserve. I would put a little more gas in it and repeat a few times, or just take it off and drain it in a bucket or something! Water will go to the bottom cause it is heavier than gas.
