adding a fuel filter to a 1650
I just rebuilt the carb on my 1650. I see the fuel shutoff valve has a screen on the end. Would it be advantageous to plumb in a fuel filter also? From the fitting on the carb and valve I bout 3/8" ID hose. I cant really find any universal filters that fit 3/8". The small engine shop around my house said that all air cooled engines run 1/4" hose. There is no way that 1/4" is going over these fittings. It had 5/16" on it but the hose was swelled out and cracked from I think all the pressure. So, what size hose is correct, and is it worth putting in a filter? If so, any leads on a filter?

IIRR those little red $2.00 B/S filters are for gravity flow and work well.
they sell them in Hwd,tractor supply & mower shops as well as evilpay. I think I paid less than $2.00 for a dozen @ cutterschoice.com on sale.

I put a puralator fuel filter from Advanced Auto on my 1250. The parts guy looked through all of the filters until we found the smallest filter that would work with a 3/8 fuel line. Unfortunatly I didn't keep a record of the part number. I will try to check the filter itself tomorrow for a part number.

It had 5/16 line when I dove into the project. The line was stretched over the fittings, bulged and cracked. The shank on tue fitting of the fuel shutoff valve was .412 I beleive. That is machined in one part so that size is unable to be changed out. The carb fitting is threaded I'm but I'd I can't change the shutoff valve what good would it do. I can force 5/16 back on but it will stretch the hose again. 3/8 seems big to me as my truck had 3/8 line on it.

Sounds like someone put a different petcock in the tank. You probably need to remove it a replace it with a stock one that uses 1/4" line. For my fuel filters, I usually get mine at the local green dealership. I just tell them I need a filter for a lawn mower and they give me one. It's clear and smaller than the kohler ones. I personally like them better.

This is the valve
 it is the stock valve for the tank. I think it is the stock parts that is still on it. Looking at the other Valves for the x82 series it sure looks like a smaller hose  This is the valve for most of the earlier tanks  I can't reference the size much as I never handled one.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
