fuel filter

[givergas]

so about a month ago my wombat was running strange. so i fiddled around with it for a while, then i got tired of standing on my head working on it so spent the next two weeks putting a lift together. then i took off the fly wheel and re checked the points and wires and all that then i took the carb off and cleaned it up and made sure all the passage ways were clean and put a new throttle cable on. i figured i should run some gas through the lines to check how the flow was thats when i discovered the fuel filter was plugged . new filter and presto back to running like it should again wanted to bring it up as it might help someone out in stead of spending a month of your life chasing your tail like i just did ......albert

So you decided to give her gas.....couldn't help myself.

I'm rather torn between the strainer type that lets a smudge of fine particulates into the bowl but never plugs up and the total 'N95' type that you have to toss from time to time if you have a less than shiny tank as I do. I don't think the tiny particles would plug the jets or anything, but I don't really like them taking a tour of my motor.

Pingle makes a great fuel filter which comes apart & is cleanable!!! Victor

Inline filters are available which have the intake & outlet at right angles. They can make the setup a bit 'cleaner' from tank to carb.

Cool. I use disposable fuel filters on my Hodskas as well. I use the Pingle on my 1500 because it needs the hi flow capabilities of the Pingle for WOT acceleration, so the filter doesn’t slow the fuel flow needed. Victor

Yeah good idea I should check it out for my 1100 I've never checked it might be a good time
