Reply To: Fuel shut off valve CC Commander 10hp

[opposedtwin]

Thanks for all the help guys !  Ok, got that fuel shutoff valve squared away (used the yellow gas type teflon tape) and now moving to the other end of the fuel line.

Swished around some clean gas in the tank, poured it out and there was quite a bit of gummy crud in the gas. The filter plug assembly was plugged so I removed and cleaned it. Looks like it’s just a small piece of fine brass screen soldered onto the neck. (See picture below) I was expecting a tall sintered style filter like the ones in the mercury super 10 green tanks with the large nut assembly.

Anybody know for sure what type of filter is correct for this motor ?

Also I thought I would buy a brass plug for the big nut assembly so I could seal and shake the tank to get it cleaner but can’t find a plug with the correct thread pitch. I’m not familiar with these gas fittings and how they’re sized. Any info you can provide would help.

Thanks in advance!
