Fuel filter, petcock.

[rammy1500]

I installed an in-line fuel filter but wonder if its causing my bike to starve for fuel. Doesn't do it consistantly but enough to be a PITA. Has anyone done this and if so what filter did you use.

Also, has anyone used a vacuum pump to test their petcock (insert jokes here), but if you did how much vacuum should it take to open the petcock diaphram?

i used an all metal filter from autozone, don't remember what it was for or the part#. The plastic one i had warped shut, couldn't take the heat. As far as vacuum goes I did test mine, I don't have any numbers for ya but I know mine opened easily. Get a rebuild kit from georgefix on Ebay. I did notice an increase in volume after i rebuilt mine. Hope this helps.

Rammy, I have inline filters on all 3 of my Eliminators and have never had a problem in any of them. Make sure that if you have a directional filter that it is in the proper flow direction. Bought mine at advanced auto, clear plastic about 3/8 inch in diameter. Furchin
