Inspection
You can inspect the screen / filter with a flashlight thru the filler hole in the top of the tank to determine if it needs cleaning or repair.
If the filter is OK, you can inspect / rebuild the petcock without uninstalling it from the fuel tank. 25)
Below is a “U” shaped bracket used on 1982 XLS and E1983 XL models.
There were two different part numbers for the bracket (82 XLS 61036-82 and E83 XL 61036-82A).
The only visual difference appears to be the inside weld of the rubber mount stud.
However, either part number will work for these models.
