Fuel filter

[rude150]

Looks to be a pain in the butt job, cleaning the fuel filter.
Located behind the vro pump.
How often should it be cleaned?
Thanks

The white mesh one that goes into the vapor tank? Pretty easy just be careful removing the retaining nut. Once a year is fine.

I’m not sure where it goes, but looking thru the service manual, it looks like it could be a hard job.
For a guy like me , anyway.

60* correct? It's not behind the VRO just to the left of it and easy to access.

This one?

I believe the recommendation for inspection and/or cleaning is every 100 hours or once a year, whichever comes first

ChampioNman, yes that is the one.
Starting on page 2-24 of the service manual, it is not until step 14 that the fuel filter is pictured/ mentioned.
Obviously, I’m mechanically challenged.
Or, my reading comprehension is lacking.

Once you take the air box off it will be clear as mud.
