1983 Mercury 115 fuel filter

[ahobbes]

Hi everyone,

I am in the process of troubleshooting few problems. I've been looking around my motor for an inline fuel filter. I've seen pictures of the white ones but I don't see any such thing on my motor. I think I do see the enrichment valve. Can anyone point out where the fuel filter might be? I have a manual on order but I'd like to start tearing things down already!

Also, I'm looking at buying a water separating fuel filter, this one specifically:

Is it a good buy?

Doesn't look like you have one there. You could add one between the fuel pump and the carbs but if it's run that long? I would recommend adding it though. My '86 has one between the pump and the carbs. I replace it every year just because. I have a water sep filter before the bulb so I'm not sure how much more I need.

filter SHOULD be in round cap on fuelpump(wire mesh screen)..def add a inline filter after checking screen-th
