I knw there are a bunch of fuel filter threads...which line?

There was a fuel filter on my bike when I bought it, but it was on the vacuum line b/w the tank and No. 3 carb. This doesnt seem right. Should be on the main line right?

Thanks.

Get rid of it. You really don't need another fuel filter. You already have two; one on the petcock-and one in each carb. Some people having fuel starvation problems when adding another filter.

That's what I read, I just want to confirm its on the wrong line.....?

Ha, that's a good one from the PO. Wrong line indeed. I still run inline fuel filters no problem. People with starvation issues must be using clogged up ones or something. I don't recall either set of the VM's I've been through having filters at each carb. Just the petcock filters on the early 750s I think.

Yes, there's nothing to filter in the vac line

Thanks fellas, just wanted to confirm.

I have a 77 750 and just rebuilt the VM's...didnt see any filter.

There are no fitters in the VMs, but the screen in the petcock should be all you need, unless you have a rusty tank. Rust particles are small and will get through the screen and clog up the carburetors.
