Is there gas in the clear fuel filter?
As seen in my sig, I have a MCSS. Now has a carb and mech fuel pump with a clear filter at the carb inlet. Its always full of gas. You can “tee in” a vacuum gauge on the fuel pump inler side to see what the pump is sucking. You can even run the gauge up to the w/shield and duct tape it on to view while driving.
Can a clogged fuel filter cause an engine to stall?
It’s true that sometimes when the filter is clogged or partly dirty, fuel will somehow go through the filter but will substantially clog the car’s injector or carburetor. And when this happens, it will cause the engine to stall, having start problems and much more.
What to do if your fuel filter is not working?
First I would replace all the fuel lines with new stuff, then if that does not work drill another hole about 1/4 in from the outside of the gas cap VERY SMALL, just enough to let a little air in. this should fix your problem Well I had open the fuel cap while ruining is was starting to die I opened the cap with no help.
Why is there no gas in my carburetor?
There is a possibility that the carburetor could be dirty or the float stuck not allowing gas to engine. If you can remove the air filter from the engine and squirt about 1/2-1 ounce of fresh gas right into carb..

What kind of fuel filter does a lawn mower use?
Before replacing it the fuel filter would be full when I would start mowing but about 20 minutes into mowing it would be dry or empty. I checked online for filters and the it seems I may have had a briggs stratton filter on the mower which was designed for mowers with a fuel pump.
