Changing the fuel filter, can I just clamp the hoses from the tank and to the pump rather than draining the system?
Also, where is the filter in the carb? It is not mentioned in the manual!

Cheers,

Re: Fuel filter
pull off the tank side and push a pencil in the pipe end
then swap the filter over
the other side won't matter

Now why couldn't I find this?
Thanks a lot edoh! Am I likely to have the same Pierburg carb on my Aircooled?
The problems CovKid experienced after running out of fuel are exactly the same as mine (I did the same!)

Re: Fuel filter
i'm not so familiar with the air cooled -
a more knowledgable peep will be along in a minute to clarify -
is there any identifying name/model on the carb you can see?
