DJL50 11 #1 Posted August 28, 2017 I own a Wheel Horse 257-H with 17HP single cylinder Kawasaki FC540V that does not have a fuel filter. Is there any reason why I can not just cut the fuel line in two and add one? Where is the best place. Near the engine or in back by the fuel tank? Thanks for the help.

shallowwatersailor 3,213 #2 Posted August 28, 2017 I would check other applications for this engine to see if any other manufacturers used a filter, and then use the same one because of the restriction of flow. Nearest to the carb is the best without getting near the exhaust or engine fins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
