252H 6 #1 Posted June 5, 2017 I got a 1/4" & 5/16" in-line fuel filter for my 252H and am wondering if this size will work, also will i run into starting issues after installing it? Some other posts make me hesitant to install it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slammer302 2,154 #2 Posted June 5, 2017 That size should work. I like to put them somewhere lower than the gas tank so gravity helps keep it full. I'm not sure about starting problems I've never noticed a difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
252H 6 #3 Posted June 5, 2017 So just cut the line and install? I read about having to prime the engine some how. Where would a good spot be? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 46,675 #4 Posted June 5, 2017 Any spot convinent should be OK 252....if I am not mistaken you should have a Keihin fuel pump on a Briggs vertical twin? Install before the pump if possible. Any doubts throw up a pic of your fuel supply layup and we can go from there. Regardless every fuel system should have a decent filter inline. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slammer302 2,154 #5 Posted June 5, 2017 (edited) Shouldn't have to prime their should be plenty of fuel in the carb to get it going Edited June 5, 2017 by slammer302 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
252H 6 #6 Posted June 5, 2017 Its a kawasaki FB460V. It doesn't have a fuel filter. Where is the pump located? I have no idea where to put it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slammer302 2,154 #7 Posted June 5, 2017 The pump is normally bolted to the side of the engine. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 46,675 #8 Posted June 5, 2017 (edited) Ok 252 you got the Kawi motor .... Trace the fuel line from the tank to the first thing it connects to ...that woud be the fuel pump or carb. install the filter anywhere it will fit in this line. Observe the arrows on the filter if any..should point away froM the tank. Run the beast out of gas or better yet if there is a gas cock shut it off (would be located close or on the tank). Cut the line with a sharp knife so the filter will fit in with a couple of fuel line size appropriate hose clamps. Should be 1/4 inch. have a rag handy to catch any excess gas and God forbid put that gagger out if you smoke! Turn the gas cock back on or put a little gas in and VERY CAREFULLY check for leaks. Correct as required ANY leaks no matter how small. the filter if the see through type should now have some gas in it. Don't worry too much if the filter doesn't fill up completely with gas. Start it up and go cut grass.... let us know if any problems. Edited June 5, 2017 by WHX11 Speeling 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
