Does it matter where the fuel filter is located along the fuel line? For example, should it be closer to the fuel tank (in the front of my Hustler 950) or closer to the engine (in the back near Kohler 25)? I currently have it within a foot of the fuel tank near the corner where I can see it (clear glass type) but am considering moving it closer to the engine. I also noticed that the filter only fills up about 1/3 of its capacity during operation. Also should it lay horizontally or can it be positioned vertically? Does it matter?
By the way...I had my inaugural ride in my newly restored Hustler. It did not go well at first because the engine would bogg down at full throttle. After some serious investigation I figured out I had the air filter in backwards Dohhhh lol. I noticed the air hose was collapsing when going full throttle. I have the top mounted heavy duty air filter on the Kohler and there are two air filters in the canister (inner and an outer). I had somehow inserted the inner filter backwards. I fixed that and then scooted about 40 mph up and down my street. I discovered that the tranny will turn right but is not quite willing to turn left. So I need to adjust the tranny, the plungers are not equally spaced. I will try my homemade spacer tools and then measure the difference between top/bottom till I can get the 5/16" movement. I took some pictures and will post them tonight or this weekend. The only things I have left to do is recover the front seat and back rest and decide how to mount the rear cargo basket.
