Fuel Filters

Post by toastyhamster » Fri Apr 09, 2010 8:27 am

Anybody know where (UK preferably) I can get some 5.5mm fuel filters? My needles are getting blocked from tank gunk (I think).

I've found some on ebay but I'd like some smaller ones if possible, the one on my RD is hardly noticeable, these are going to be in plain view :-(

Thanks

If they are going to be visible, I like the look of these.

All the anodised ones I've found have been 6mm, and I've got 5.5mm fuel pipe.... I ain't paying a tenner each anyway.

Hi,

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there is a fuel filter installed in the left and right carburettor, standard.
Are these filters not working properly ?

In the carb itself? Don't think so. There's a gauze in the tap but it doesn't seem to be doing the job.

Hi,

Yes, where the tube is attached to the carb, screw that bolt out, and you see a filter around the bold.
Do I have to take pictures for you ?, I'll be glad to help you out,
