Description
An in-line fuel filter prevents contaminants from entering the carburetor and engine. In any engine, if the in-line fuel filter becomes clogged for whatever reason, the fuel cannot flow freely to the carburetor. This can prevent the engine from starting or may shut off the engine during operation when the fuel supply is interrupted. Without any gas, the engine cannot run.
Any number of things can cause the filter to become clogged. Examples of typical clogging culprits are lawn clippings, mulch, stones or rocks, or contaminants from poor-grade fuel. If your engine stops or won’t start up, remove the old in-line fuel filter, and replace it with the new one. If this does not fix your problem, the carburetor may need cleaning or replacement due to damage from the contaminants, as well.
The outside material of this fuel filter is plastic, while the inside material is comprised of a filter component interior. This in-line fuel filter is manufactured by Briggs & Stratton. It is compatible with engines on lawnmowers, lawn tractors, snowblowers, and generators manufactured by Briggs & Stratton, Craftsman, Cub Cadet, Murray, MTD, Simplicity, Snapper, Toro, and Troy-Bilt. It is for engines that are supplied fuel by way of a fuel pump. This is a genuine OEM part and is sold separately as a replacement.
