That's fine. All I am saying is that it has happened to me and could happen again. I don't know the logic of running with out one? They are small and can be tucked away out of sight, if you are concerned about it being visible for some reason. I don't think seafoam is intended to do away with fuel so nasty it plugs up a filter in one tank full, such as what happened to me. If that crap had got into the carbs I would have had one hell of a problem. One that seafoam would have been useless.

i would not put a plastic fuel filter on an air cooled motorccycle anywhere it could get hot, melt and burn. I got a small metal one made for an old ford, it is not just a screen filter. i can get part number if needed. u can paint it purple if needed.

im sorry, i ditched the box, it is an inline metal narrow diameter,like 7/8 or 1" , 5/16" fittings. the numbers on it are 0024,but maybe numbers are missing. advance autoparts guy said it was for an old ford, and it was like 3 or 4 $. hope it helps.

I'm running the FF1203, from Autozone, on both my bikes with no issues. Smallish, metal, and fits the 5/16 fuel line just fine. Their cheap.
I cut my metal line, between the two looms, so I could still slide the hose on the stub, until it touched the loom closest to the carb, and snugged it with a screw clamp. Some have done what you did with the enricher bracket, and drilled a hole and mounted it back where the old pump bracket mounted, with a nut and bolt.

i think the autozone is a see-thru mesh filter. , u can use it for a telescope, not sure if it is that one he stated, just be sure, it needs more than a screen, either stone? or paper element to trap smaller particlles.

I found the part number for thefuel filter from Advance Auto Parts Purolator 586 0512 price is 429 down here in Florida again and this 5\16 inline metal fuel filter about 7/8 inch in diameter maybe 1 inch and it has a decent element. more than just a screen
