[Reference] Fuel filter

Mo betta!

Just 'rebuilt' mine.  Filter was dirty compared to a new one.  I only had to take it apart twice...left an o-ring out and then didn't have the fuel level thingy in the right recess.  I have a 'newish' pump already in the bike and working well.  This is for a spare. 

This was an excellent write up.  I'll post the pics of the filter and the dirt that was in the housing in a bit.

It was a bear to pry the darn thing apart and then mating the new filter with the pump was very difficult as it was tight as a tic even after fitting it a few times outside of the housing.  I'm crossing my fingers and hoping it works if I ever have to use it in the bike.

Pictures aren't entirely focused but you get the picture..

Excellent. I've also got a spare with a new filter ready to install at the first sign of trouble. May never need it but it's cheap insurance.

This is an awesome posting!  Thank you!  Sure beats what I did on my 650(which was a similar procedure, but the fuel filter is permanently attached on the outside, so I had to dunk it in fuel from one container, and squeeze it like a sponge into another container until it was less black...)
