Does that look like a good filter? I like the one RPalmer shows, but it is 5/16, and my lines are 1/4. I could stretch to fit, but I don't really like doing that.

Thanks!

Make sure the filter you use is for a gravity feed system and not for one with a fuel pump.

That seems like a good one. its one that you can not tear apart, a throw away filter, and you can see if it is working just by looking. all the people I have talked to have had hardly any problems with the tusk brand, it is rocky mountains in house brand. As for flow, i know a quad will use alot more flow than a mower. the filters they sell are for the most part made for all vehicles. my best guess is that this filter was made to be used by all small engines, even all you honda atc 110 users. also they have good deals usually on titan tires. I even saw at one time in their road bike catalog, a billit wobble drink holder.

Another fuel filter option is the NAPA p/n 3003. Clear plastic, 3/8 hose connections, and sells for around four bucks.

I had to replace my fuel line and sediment bowl.Cost was around 25 bucks.I like it the old way if it was good enufff for IH well you know...

That is the one you would need for a 1650. The 1650 uses 3/8" (.375) ID fuel line. The problem with most 3/8" inlet/outlet filters is the filter diameter. They are too large to fit well in the space as it is routed between the gas tank and the carb. If the filter touches the engine it can heat up and cause the fuel to boil, causing air bubbles in the fuel line (otherwise known as a vapor lock). The Napa 3003 is 1.893" in overall diameter and might fit. I'm going to buy one and give it a try.

All my small motors have a filter on them. I don't rely on the screen that is in the gas tank. I will use a sediment or an inline fuel filter along with the screen in the tank.

My Son came home with this filter when he worked at a small motor shop:

This is on my 149.

I have used this filter from Briggs and Stratton in the past.

It doesn't take that much space:

The part number is 5018.

The 982 I was looking at has an in-line filter in it, clear casing so you can see the gas in the filter, just a plain cylinder type a couple inches long. I am thinking I could put any quality in-line filter on it, my local Briggs/Tecumseh dealer has lots of different shapes and sizes. :bigthink:So is it enough to change the filter every year? Given a normal mowing season of once a week from say April to end of October. Or should it be changed more than that? What kind of gas do you guys normally run in your tractors? Regular or High Test?

I run regular and only change the filters if I have issues with fuel delivery...I try to keep the gas and tank clean.
