SRX600 in-line fuel filter?

[northernmaplered]

Hello there! Long time no write, however have been perusing the posts the last few days and trying to find info on putting in an in-line fuel filter. From what I can tell the most popular spot is in between the fuel tap and the carb? Wondering what kind of filters y'all have found best, as I have to order it online and can't hold one up to it and see what would fit. I should note that I am located in Canada so I'll only be trying to find something that I can get over here that is similar in size/shape.

Thank you in advance!

Aye Northernmaplered,

Pleased to see that you still drop by to wind us up.    We have been down to -6C so far and I suspect that you might be below that all the time, or are you having a mild autumn? 

Fuel filters that I use are these: 6mm_fuel_filter_link

I have mine in the fuel line from the vacuum fuel tap to the carb. It sits right inside at the back of the vacuum fuel tap. A bit fiddly, but out of the way. I can send images if required.

The clips I use are these: Hoseworld_fuel_hose_clips

They are made from stainless and are neat. Small, stainless steel 'Jubilee clips' also do the job, but are a bit more bulky. Measure the OD of the fuel hose you are using before ordering! Getting the too big size is vexing!   

Good health and regards, Bill

Hiya Bill!

Thanks for the reply, nice to hear from you again! Wowza, time for the longjohns eh! It's been fairly mild so far, had a bit of -19C at the beginning of the month but it has been quite mild as of late, above zero even   

Okay excellent, thanks for confirming location for the filter. Your one looks very similar to what I've found so far.

Those are very neat hose clips! I hadn't yet seen such a thing, thanks for the tip. I had to order a bunch of new fuel line in varying sizes and it all came with scissor-style clips which so far have worked okay.

She's not running yet but I made my first attempts about a week ago and got two backfires! Unfortunately for my poor ears it happened in the confines of a single car garage with the door nearly shut but very exciting nonetheless! The tank is still in shambles but I got a little fuel bottle to assist in the resurrection for now. I've gone away to work in camp for a few weeks so I'm back to researching and ordering parts for awhile. Hopefully will have good news to report soon 

Cheers and thanks again, AJ
