I am going to construct a fuel tank out of inline fuel filters, but wait, what if i get something in the fuel line when I put it together. I am still going to run a inline filter in the fuel line as well

You're five pages too late. I already had that idea back on page 1 of this thread, and it's patent pending, but I'll sell you the rights to use my design, for a hefty fee of course, if you'd like!

You know....... sometimes something pops in your head and you think it's your idea, but it's not

I humbly apologize, I won't be needing the rights to the patient at this time

I just went ahead and did away with that pesky fuel tank and fuel lines and replaced it all with a huge, interconnected, glued-together mass of in-line fuel filters. I'm gonna have the cleanest gas in the entire world!!!!!!!!

It's a real #$%* filling up at the gas station, though. $:-\$

Yup, looks like Gordon preempted both of us with his integrated design. <sigh> Back to the drawing board!

Those incredible, astounding, super human Honda engineers (bow down now and begin worshipping). How dare anyone want to put an inline fuel filter on their SOHC Four Honda. Honda engineers and SOHC Fours were sent from the heavens above to save us all from having to modify (gag) our motorcycles. SOHC Four Hondas, just like the infallible engineers that designed them are perfect in every way. Modifying these amazing bikes is akin to drawing a mustache on the Mona Lisa. Inline fuel filter? Next thing you know, you'll be putting PODS (puke a little in your mouth now) on your bike and we all know what will happen then. Damn! Seriously, I never imagined something as simple as an inline fuel filter would cause so much commotion. If you want a fuel filter, put a fuel filter on it. If you want pods, put pods. If you want to cafe your Honda, cafe it. If you want to chop it, chop it. Old Hondas are not sacred, they are meant to be fun. If your idea of fun is something a little different (or a lot different) from what your bike started as, then, by all means, go for it, and have fun. Just don't forget that an inline fuel filter will drastically lower the value of your quickly appreciating Honda Four!

When I wrote an over-the-top diatribe a few pages back, I at least put some smilies on it so the humor impaired would get a clue. Some are more impaired than others, I guess, depending on ones core beliefs.

Apparently you're dead serious in your rant.

I guess we need a Voice-of-Thunder emoticon.

I am dead serious about very little. If I thought I needed to put smilie faces, I would have. Talk about humor impaired.

totally got the humor immediately.
totally appreciate the sarcasm.
totally agree!

Thank you. At least it wasn't lost on everyone. When I read a humorous book, it isn't riddled with smilie faces.

smileys are needed w/ your mom jokes and very dry humorous remarks... this was OBVIOUS sarcasm.

BobbyR · « **Reply #90 on:** April 02, 2009, 11:36:31 am »

I am always amazed how topics so trivial can generate so much passion. All this passion over a F**king filter and a piece of hose. Jeeze.

Now THAT'S funny!

I,m having trouble running my fuel line. My old routing is on the pic on page one. I,m trying to route above the rubber tube from the carb to the motor and through carbs 1 and 2, But coming from the peacock it's to much of a 90˚ angle. I think and would block fuel supply. I went to the auto store to they if they had a brass fitting of that's 90˚ and they didn't. Any suggestions? Can some one post a pic of how they route there's? It's the k5 so the peacock is on the left side.

Frankenkit · « **Reply #96 on:** April 05, 2009, 02:48:55 pm »

put a semi-stiff spring around your fuel line, it prevents the line from kinking off. the 650 had one stock in the parts fiche for that very reason but one from Home Depot works just as well, it's just a little stiffer.

Hows that 650 been treating you kit?

Hush · « **Reply #98 on:** April 05, 2009, 03:07:54 pm »

I managed to just cut my gas supply tube and fit that really small filter straight on, have noticed no lack of fuel or motor power loss.
It is a true PITA to get the filter on the bottom bit of hose though unless you have your carbs off or only three fingers, I stretched out the inner part of the tube with a screw driver and then forced the little sucker on.

masonryman · « **Reply #99 on:** April 05, 2009, 03:50:17 pm »

I now have a $500.00 leaf blower due to the lack of an inline filter. The filter in the tank failed and the screen in the carb got plugged up to the point you could not even tell in was a screen. I started wit tank filter and fuel lines, cleaned the carb, missed the screen, I messed with that damn leaf blower all day before Removed the screen in the carb and poked a hole in it. Well 6 hours later it lives again, this time with a inline filter
