    Clear fuel filter for a 30 hp 10 % E gasoline engine. 10 micron filter preferred. Fitting size about 5/16" to 3/8" hose.

    They make 10 micron in-line filters for use with EFI motors. Just ordered a couple for the zero turn Kohler 24 050 13-s1

    Honda 9.9 burning oil

    How does oil get from the combustion chamber to the air box? Compression numbers? Spark test? Complete disassembly and cleaning of the carbs? Checked timing?

    Honda 9.9 burning oil
