I appreciate the warning, West. There is a spot at the front of the engine where it could go, but it means adding another pipe connection, which we want to avoid. I mean the carb itself is right on top of the manifold and the filter will be as close to it as we could get. (Photo shows current Carter carb.)
We'll make certain it does not leak. It is new and son John is confident the connections will be sealed. It will hang a little over the intake manifold. I have an inline filter back by the tank with the 6v pump and a meter, in addition to the mechanical fuel pump up front which has some sort of filter. I doubt I'll ever have to open the dome to empty sediment. I don't want anything to get in the carb except gas.
