Fuel Filter
Submitted by Deckie on Tue, 2019-04-09 14:33
Hi folks, can you tell me the pro's & con's of putting an inline fuel filter in after the seperator between the primer pump and motor.
Had problems with gummed up carbies the last time i went out. Had it all cleaned & repaired with new gaskets & parts, but would like the security knowing that nothing is going to get into them again and spoil a nice day out before it begins.
Was probably related to just sitting around for 10 months with a start in the driveway every month.
Your help in this matter is greatly appreciated as usual.
Cheers.

You’re probably right that
You’re probably right that the 10month sit was the cause. It happened to me. Mechanic recommended using F10 in the fuel all the time as a preventative.

Run the fuel out of the motor
Run the fuel out of the motor each time you use it on carby motors.

drain the carbies..
Running them 'dry' worked for me for over 20 years with no probs.
SOme people believe the gaskets/seals will dry out and fail but it never happened on my 1986 90hp Yamahaha
