The strainer is attached to the fuel tank drain plug. To remove the plug+strainer you pretty are forced to drain the entire tank.

I did this twice, two years ago on my '83 SC....

Not a difficult job, but you will need to prepare pan or tank to store the fuel safely. Inspect the strainer, and replace if you think it is necessary, then replace drain plug.

Then, based on inspection of the drained fuel quality, decide if you want to pour back into tank? All this while keeping proper ventilation and having a fire extinguisher on the ready. At least, that's how I approached it.

You can see my fuel looked very rusty, so gave to my landscaper to run his two-stroke equipment. I did replace my strainer w new.

Good luck!
