Fuel Filter question

[HigginsHorse]

The PO was running two Fuel filters, one about 8 inches from the carb and one attached directly to the carb. Do I need both? If I only run one, which is the better location?
Thanks.

I run 2. 1 clear one before the fuel pump. one on the carb. Cheap insurance.

I also run two. The WIX # 33046 that you should be very caeful not to over tighten when re installing to the front of the carb. And a WIX # 33032 that screws into my electric pump back near the tank.

A couple of years ago I remember someone here having fuel flow problems even after replacing a couple of filters. It ended up he found a couple more in lines that were hidden. So I go out and start checking and sure enough, I find one I didn't know about too. I ended up putting an electric pump on mine and replacing the hose from tank to carb, so I now know for sure I only have two.

is the extra one dirty? if it is.. it is helping.... I like the idea of a clear one inline someplace I can check it quickly... plus it is easier to change than the one on the carb.

;D ;D ;D Do you need 2 no but it cant hurt it will help keep it all clean and should you get some heavey dirt and plug one you still have a backup. I have one at the carb clear typ and a big one at the tank works good for me good luck with yours.%) %) %) Bill %)
