If you don't have the zip tie tool you can hand tighten them and use toe nail clippers to flush cut them. Toe nail clippers don't leave sharp edges to cut yourself on.
Great video! I was looking for a video that addressed this issue. I bought a used Simplicity Regent riding mower with a 16 HP Kohler motor. It is an older mower, but very clean and in good shape. When I was mowing, it would cough a couple of times, but it kept running. Finally, after I used it for about six 1 hour mowing sessions, it kept coughing to the point where I had to put it away and use my big tractor to finish the mowing. I looked at the engine and the arrow on the fuel filter was pointing back toward the gas tank which didn't seem right. I ordered a new Kohler fuel filter, took the old one off, installed the new one with the arrow pointed toward the carburetor. I started it and did all of my mowing (1 hour) with no coughing or sputtering. Your video confirmed my suspicions that the filter was on backwards. Thank you !
Very good Jeremy!! That's the filter we use except we buy them from Rotary, part number 10352. We put them on every riding mower that we do a fuel related repair on. BTW now I'm gonna have to buy a zip tie tool because my wife is the zip tie master Lol. Now she is gonna want that tool. Thanks a lot Lol
That was interesting. I've never heard of this gun before. Nor of the radius zip tie. I plan on adding fuel filters to a generator and lawn mower so this is right on time for me.
I am impressed. Somebody else besides me uses a ziptie gun. I don't use zip ties on fuel lines but i do on lots of bn other things. Another benefit of the gun is that it doesn't leave razor sharp points on the cut ends. If you have ever reached ito a wiring rack where the installer used side cutters you will know what i mean. I have the scars and the T shirt.
I was reluctant to get one of those tools, thinking it was a waste of money for a gimmick. But no, it's been most useful especially in tight spaces where you can't get to with two hands and pliers, and then have to snip the end. What I didn't know that you taught me was that it applies a given, correct torque! Yabbadabba! I have a zip-tie torque tool!
It should be noted that pleated paper fuel filters are better but screens are used for snowblowers and generators because they're less likely to ice up. The reason paper filters have an arrow is so you can see the dirt in the filter not so it will last longer. It will trap the same amount of dirt in either direction you just won't see it if you put it in backwards.
Just changed the fuel filter with the same clear filter as this video. Is it "normal" for the filter to be half full of fuel and the other half air? The zero turn mower has a fuel pump and the tank is full. The mower runs perfectly well. I forgot to check if the old filter was full.
Do the red and white briggs type of filters have a flow direction. I believe I took one apart before to see the difference inside and one side of the filter had a little bit more space for debris to collect.
Hay bro need ur opinion iv got a kawasaki self propelled hardly work on em this 1 need a new coil carb work got it going now the engine will not rev up I try to adjust the carb nothen what in thunder do u adjust to make it rev up
Ever seen this issue and what may cause it- MTD older rider. Gas tank sits in front of steering wheel. Hose comes down and around to filter then carb. I had put new lines and carb on rider last year. Flushed tank etc when I brought it used. Changed the filter which had a round red one on it. Got a Briggs clear see through gas filter. Hooked it up right. I also installed a shut off before filter. Each time I am done mowing I shut off the valve and run gas out carb till dies. Now for a good while the filter had gas filled in it when mower ran. I see my past 3 mowings when mower is running no gas in filter. None-0. Shut off valve is fully open. Oddly mower runs fine? How is it mower is running 1+ hrs and not a drop of gas is in filter? Side note- I now have a new ( same type ) filter on. I get same issue.
@@THEMOWERMEDIC1 thanks for input/info. That is about the only thing came to my mind as well. So run it and all good. Least I don't have no leaks ha ha. I say that because I use 90 oct no eth in all my stuff. At that price I want to account for every drop.
You should be able to cut it off both sides then reinstall the new filter, unless for some reason the fuel line is to short, which I don't ever seem to have a problem with.
Here's a question, I understand B&S tell you to use red filter if it's gravity fed and another type if the engine has fuel pump. Can you run those fiber type fuel filters with a gravity fuel system?
I swear the ID of my new fuel line 1/4 won't fit on the barb of my 775ex briggs carb or gas tank. The fuel line fits on the fuel filter, but not the carb or gas tank. And the old fuel line leaks when put on new fuel filter.
is stens considered a grade above ebay/amazon white box china parts? I sure would like to see a video on what is the good aftermarket brands for parts other than the chinese white box.
I was hoping you would show how to put them on if there is NO ARROW to be seen - but you did not. Your arrow I can see well. I looked at a new bag of ten filters - no arrow anywhere. Two other people looked with magnifying lamp - no arrow.
I had got some fuel filters from Amazon, there was no arrow showing the direction of flow , but I figured it by the way the original one was on , just to let you know can easily make a mistake
Hi I was just wondering about the business end of your shop. Do you charge by the actual time spent on a piece of equipment or do you go by a flat rate manual?
You hook up the fuel filter correctly the transparent case will allow you to see the dirt accumulation, so you can determine to change this filter.. Hooked up the wrong way your filter can get plugged before you visually see it should be changed.

Thank you!!!! David:) :)
Sweet! I’m going to add these to my wish list.
What setting is the zip tie gun set to? Thank you
Super thank you! You are an asset to all …

Hard to imagine someone could screw that up but never underestimate an individual.
Ive seen the plastic hose clips and always thought they were on there at hope & prayer tightness, never saw the tool until today. Thanks Jeremy.

Thanks for tip about the zip tie. I use that a similar fuel filter on my machines depending on what my dealer has in stock when I go to buy them

The zip ties are designed and made for fuel lines
Have one of the zip tie tools at the shop , great little tool

Ordered some up, thanks for all your tips and tricks!
Use similar filters at my shop. Great video as usual Jeremy
That ziptie is pretty cool
Thanks mower medic I need that tool , nice price also from Amazon
Great video, great presentation and great man
Thank you Sir for another helpful video!!

How do you get the filter with the double barb off the hose in order to change it?
Funny. I just had posted a comment to project farm to see if he would review fuel filters.
Thanks for the zip tie idea. I will use it!
What about those "OEM" Briggs and Stratton filters?
will have to order me some of these from Stens , thanks
Can you use this type of fuel filter in a gravity fuel tank on a gxv push mower?
great video jeremy
Isn’t there a difference between gravity fed and fuel pump filters ? Thanks for the good content !
You made this interesting ! 👍🙂
Good tip!
The only stens filter I purchased said it replaced a kubota filter and this was verified on stens website. it was no where close.
Must’ve inputted the
Wrong part number
Nice! Will this rig work on a dr650 motorcycle? I hope so. I love the set up plz n ty sir.
good information video medic1
Can you use a filter like that in a gravity fed lawnmower?
Placement location for best pressure to carb on a gravity feed passive fuel system?????
Amazon sales this set everything together.
Just changed the fuel filter with the same clear filter as this video. Is it "normal" for the filter to be half full of fuel and the other half air? The zero turn mower has a fuel pump and the tank is full. The mower runs perfectly well.
I forgot to check if the old filter was full.
Is there a filter in the fuel tank on a John Deere riding mower takes under the seat
👍🏾 Good information
Do the red and white briggs type of filters have a flow direction. I believe I took one apart before to see the difference inside and one side of the filter had a little bit more space for debris to collect.
Hay bro need ur opinion iv got a kawasaki self propelled hardly work on em this 1 need a new coil carb work got it going now the engine will not rev up I try to adjust the carb nothen what in thunder do u adjust to make it rev up
Hey THEMOWERMEDIC1, what number on the dial (0 to 3) do set it to get your 60 inch pounds? Thanks.
I was wondering this also
Thank you much.

It is a gravity flow system the filter will never fill with fuel unless the filter is vertically mounted
@@THEMOWERMEDIC1 thanks for input/info. That is about the only thing came to my mind as well. So run it and all good. Least I don't have no leaks ha ha. I say that because I use 90 oct no eth in all my stuff. At that price I want to account for every drop.
Could not find that zip-tie tool link..please send info...thanks David
It’s in the comment section as a pinned comment. Thanks for watching
@@THEMOWERMEDIC1 ok will try to look for it again...thanks
Always enjoy your video's. Curious to know do you recommend these Sten filters over the screen filters in a gravity fed system? Thanks
Good to know. Thanks
Ok, so now I have the filter secured with the cable tie, how do I change the filter?
Cut the zip tie
@@THEMOWERMEDIC1 but even YOU couldn’t pull the fuel line off!
Oh
You should be able to cut it off both sides then reinstall the new filter, unless for some reason the fuel line is to short, which I don't ever seem to have a problem with.
I use a push pin removal tool for fuel lines. I also use hose removal needle nose
Can I use those fuel filter in a Snapper pro express 36 Kawasaki?
Filters wrk one either way. Only only problem is. You can NOT see if filter is dirty/clogged
Great video.
Will it operate correctly on a typical lawnmower?
Here's a question, I understand B&S tell you to use red filter if it's gravity fed and another type if the engine has fuel pump. Can you run those fiber type fuel filters with a gravity fuel system?
Absolutely
Huh fuel filter 101! Can it be used it in a diesel engine?
I swear the ID of my new fuel line 1/4 won't fit on the barb of my 775ex briggs carb or gas tank. The fuel line fits on the fuel filter, but not the carb or gas tank. And the old fuel line leaks when put on new fuel filter.
Didn’t find the link for the tool and zip ties.
Me too...just don't see it...David
Pinned it to the comments and in the description
is stens considered a grade above ebay/amazon white box china parts? I sure would like to see a video on what is the good aftermarket brands for parts other than the chinese white box.
Stens is a wholesale small engine parts supplier usually better quality than Amazon and eBay.
What if it has no arrow?
I was hoping you would show how to put them on if there is NO ARROW to be seen - but you did not. Your arrow I can see well. I looked at a new bag of ten filters - no arrow anywhere. Two other people looked with magnifying lamp - no arrow.
Send pics to themowermedic1@gmail
How long are they good for
I noticed you couldn’t get the filter off so what happens when you want to change the filter and can’ get the old one off
Slit the fuel line bam done
Is it a good idea to run two filters in series ?
GOOD VIDEO, TY
Great info thk u sir
I had got some fuel filters from Amazon, there was no arrow showing the direction of flow , but I figured it by the way the original one was on , just to let you know can easily make a mistake
When you buy filters, make sure you check the micron rating. Some of them are nothing but a screen and not a filter.
Thanks, helped
How do you remove zip tie when change out filter?
Cut
It
🤷 come on now
Kudos mm1
We all know where Sham Sham Bigelow is shoving this up.
So the filters that you displayed, are they seasonal like every 25 hours or they annual?
I replaced them when they clog
Hi I was just wondering about the business end of your shop. Do you charge by the actual time spent on a piece of equipment or do you go by a flat rate manual?
I don’t charge a dime here at the mower medic shop And the company that I work for is a nonprofit
It's clear bcuz if you put backward debris clogs inside filter you can't see it.
👍👍
🕊️
Seriously, do you even need a zip tie much less a zip tie tool when they go on that hard over a double barb? I can't believe that they'd ever leak.
Yes very serious
You hook up the fuel filter correctly the transparent case will allow you to see the dirt accumulation, so you can determine to change this filter.. Hooked up the wrong way your filter can get plugged before you visually see it should be changed.
Arrow always points to the direction of the carb.
Not always
I think clamps would work better
Those Are clamps
No.
Yea
Dude, your pic is pretty creepy. Change it.
cheers man...
