Hi guys,
when I got the bike I saw the black can attached to the fuel line coming out of the tank and thought "that is perfect, this bike has a fuel filter the size of a soda can". Our gas here has about a cup of sludge and sand that comes for free in the bottom of every 50 gallon drum, and we end up seeing a tone of clogged carburetors.
I was let down to learn that that can is actually a charcoal filter for gas vapors and is not the herculean fuel filter I organizationally thought.
Is there a replaceable element down inside there?
What do you guys think about adding an extra in-line filter before the carburetor?
One of our outboard motors has been retrofitted with two additional in line filters and has run with fewer problems since they were installed.
