Note: Refer to the precautions at the end of Section 1 before proceeding.
Removal

3 Depressurise the fuel system as described in Section 6, and disconnect the fuel inlet pipe from the CFI unit.
4 Disconnect the fuel return pipe from the CFI unit.
5 Disconnect the throttle cable from the linkage on the CFI unit.
6 Either drain the cooling system as described in Chapter 1, or clamp the coolant hoses as close as possible to the CFI unit to minimise coolant loss, then disconnect the hoses from the unit.
