Bo:

Sorry, should have warned you about the fuel filter -- the feed pump is rather small and takes FOREVER to fill the filter. My mechanic had a customer with a small fuel leak in the suction line (bad o-ring) that allowed the fuel to drain back. Ran the battery down cranking, and had a filter full of fuel!

Fill that sucker all the way up -- makes a big difference. Also makes a difference to stick your foot in it when you start it with a new filter.

You might want to remove the bracket so you can fill the filter from the outside holes -- that way whatever you put in it goes through the filter instead of straight into the pump.
