After reading so many posts from people with carburetor problems (mostly caused by dirty fuel), I decided it might be wise to put an in-line fuel filter on the Cats before I have the same problem.
The first thing I did was get the right size fuel filters. I went to Chinadian Tire and looked at the riding mower filters. Too small and at $11.00 each, I don't think so. I got an idea of the size of diameter of the connectors then went to the automotive department. Found filters that were twice the size for $3.84 each. No brainer. Bought one for each cat. There's lots of room to install the filter. Considering how cheap and easy a fix it is and how much of a pain in the ass that dirt in the carb can cause, I strongly recommend it. If you decide to do it, make sure you route your fuel line to minimize abrading and exposure to exhaust heat. Good luck
