if not, here's a link in pdf form for it!

you hve air in the clutch system; bleed it out.

Have you tried a fuel injector cleaner? Lean condition could be caused by clogged injector(s).

order one on line

check exhaust could have bad catalytic,i have seen them melt to the point engine does not start due to complete blockage, hope this helps you.

Look for a large hose or tube going from the side towards the engine. If the The Air filter housing should be located in that hose next to the battery.

Sorry for the delay. I am personally going back to answer your unanswered question.
I do not know if you still need the answer, but I am going to answer it in case you still do.
