    • 6CTA fuel filter change

      This topic has 1 reply, has 2 voices, and was last updated byRob Schepis 4 years ago

      May 17, 2019 at 1:00 pm I’m going to change the fuel filter on my 6CTAs, and I’m not quite clear on the procedure. I know I need to fill the filter with clean fuel before installing, but I’m not clear on what I need to do with the manual pump after the filter is installed. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Scott

      May 18, 2019 at 4:37 am You can prefill the filter with clean fuel but in doing so do not pour any fuel into the center hole, fill the filter slowly using the small holes around the perimeter of the filter. This is normal path of the fuel so that it gets filtered before heading off to your injection pump. You can then pump the manual primer until you hear it squeak.

      December 8, 2018 at 12:48 pm I have a pair of SMX1730 pumps I’m replacing the impellers in. The old impeller came out pretty easy, but I’m having trouble getting the new impeller in. Is there a secret to compressing the tabs enough to get them in the housing? Thanks, Scott
