A speck of dust has caused my carb to stick open before. Think of a grain of sand thats been broken up 3 or 4 times. Clean them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brokemybanshee Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 I refuse to use a fuel filter and no problems yet... I just keep the carbs clean to begin with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motoman991 Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 im going to get a fuel filter just to be on the safe side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wassup350 Posted March 11, 2004 Report Share Posted March 11, 2004 Thats why i always turn my fuel off when im done with it. Its not pretty when you get gas all over your concrete floor in your garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotulMonsta Posted March 11, 2004 Report Share Posted March 11, 2004 You may be fine for a while without a fuel filter, but lets say you switch to reserve, now all that garbage that pooled in the bottom of your tank after all those years is now traveling down into your carbs and motor. Every time I had carb issues was when I used reserve. So I got a fuel filter and I have yet to suck any dirt. It's a good investment and can save wquite a few headaches.

99screaminshee Posted March 11, 2004 Report Share Posted March 11, 2004 rite after i got my shee i looked in the tank 1 day to check the gas and there was sum kinda shit in it so i took off the tank cleaned it out real good and put a lil stariner (a piece of the old ladys pantyhose works good) on all my gas cans so that way the shit stays outta my tank outta my carbs and outta my motor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
