#822740 Agpilot (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1568 Re:Change the Float Bowl Needle Valve (and lose your fuel pump) 3 Years, 5 Months ago   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.   Logged     Last Edit: 2014/09/26 03:39 By Agpilot.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #822765 brianmac (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2180 Re:Change the Float Bowl Needle Valve (and lose your fuel pump) 3 Years, 5 Months ago   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.   Logged     [img size=150][/img]   The administrator has disabled public write access. #822778 danobrien (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 91 Re:Change the Float Bowl Needle Valve (and lose your fuel pump) 3 Years, 5 Months ago   brianmac wrote: i would not put a plastic fuel filter on an air cooled motorccycle anywhere it could get hot, melt and burn.

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.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #822863 brianmac (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2180 Re:Change the Float Bowl Needle Valve (and lose your fuel pump) 3 Years, 5 Months ago   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.   Logged     [img size=150][/img]   The administrator has disabled public write access. #823416 brianmac (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2180 Re:Change the Float Bowl Needle Valve (and lose your fuel pump) 3 Years, 4 Months ago   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   Logged     [img size=150][/img]   The administrator has disabled public write access. #823437 danobrien (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 91 Re:Change the Float Bowl Needle Valve (and lose your fuel pump) 3 Years, 4 Months ago   brianmac wrote: 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 found it: http://goo.gl/vbHdYB   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
