[chillls]

does anyone know where i can get the little clear filters for my fuel line in a size that will fit a 5/16" hose you can get the 1/4" ones everywhere

but i cant find one for 5/16".

any help???

dealers, performance shops, hardware stores usually have them if they specialize in small engine work. Lots of places, ebay, rmatv, denniskirk... the list goes on!

does that screw up the oil ratio? could it reduce the amount of oil from the gas going through the carbs?

Why would you want to put a inline filter on the fuel line? Are you working on a Banshee?

thats a good point !!! i m running one on each line ...

I dont run one. The Stock petcock has a fine screen on it anyway. If you own a banshee you will probably have the carbs appart enough that your not going to get big chunks of crap building up in the bowls and jets.

The stock screens work very well. Some times the tall tube and screen will fall off, but you can cut off a 1/8" and shove it back in the valve. I just took off a inline fuel filter like you seek, the bike it came from was overheating. I think the cause of the overheating was the two small pebbles plugging the filter making it run lean. When I drained the tank I found the stock tube and screen laying loose in the bottom of the tank. The pebbles would have never plugged the stock screen if it was in place.

 

You can find those clear inline filters at most parts stores in various sizes, they may have to order one if they don't stock it.

Put a big automotive fuel filter on your gas can. NOT on your bike. Banshees love free flowing fuel. Never restrick the fuel flow on a banshee.
