Parts for Honda GCV160-LAOS3B: Fan Cover Parts

A fuel filter is designed to ensure that the fuel flowing into an engine is as clean as possible. When combined with an effective air filter, this dramatically improves engine durability. In general, a fuel filter should be replaced during a small engine’s annual maintenance cycle. This is true whether the filter is inside a lawnmower, snowblower, or another small engine. Symptoms of a failed fuel filter include stalling, particularly when the throttle is fully open. A clogged fuel filter can also be checked visually. If it’s cloudy or there are particles are inside, it needs to be replaced. If there is visible rust during this process, check the fuel can and gas tank for any rust on the inside. Discard any bad gas and replace it with fresh gasoline. Initially, this fuel filter was used for MTD snowblowers. Since then, it’s been used by several other manufacturers, including Briggs & Stratton, Cub Cadet, Yard Machines, and Honda.
