Gas line replacement on 450

earl in pa · Sep 12, 2012

Has anybody purchased the gas line and sediment bowl HIGH-FLOW SEDIMENT BOWL ELIMINATIOR KIT advertised in RED POWER . If so how well does it work and how hard was it to install. Also is the filter screen which goes into the carburetor open on the inside end { mine is}. THANKS for all your great advise in the past.

just get a 90degree elbow followed buy a ball valve then a section of fuel line then an inline filter finished off by a length of line to the carb. Easy cheap and all available at a local auto parts store.

Unless you are into pulling, and have a highly modified engine, there is no need for it.

That is just a hipriced scam.You can get all the parts you need at your local hardware/autoparts store.But why do you think you need one?

I am getting flakes of rust in my sediment bowl and in my brass screen and this seemed like a good fix. Is there any type of cap on the end of the bass screen in the carburetor .

Does the sediment unit have the screen installed????

If not, repair it and dump the rust out as it accumulates.

The one on the carb bottoms out and does not need to be closed.

i picked up a little doo-dad from steiner tractor parts that fits in the top of the sediment bowl. it is a brass screen about and inch or so long that fits in the top part of the bowl assembly, and it goes up in to the fuel tank. does a nice job. about 7 dollars.

If you eliminate the sediment bowl, where do you think those rust flakes will go next?

They'll flow right down the line and lodge themselves in the carburetor. Taking the little glass bowl off is much easier than tearing down the carburetor.

I ASSUME they put an inline filter in the rubber hose.

Yes, the brass filter at the carb is open on the end.

How so? The rust will still be there: you just won"t be able to see it. Inline filters (I assume there is one in this rig) aren"t better than sediment bowls and screens: just cheaper. The rust will clog up the filter instead of collecting in the bowl where you can see it and clean it out.
