How much fuel should be in the fuel filter?
I recently disassembled and cleaned the Nikki carburetor on a17.5 HP engine. I replaced the needle as well as the gaskets.
And noticed that there's barely any
gasoline in the clear fuel filter. I have a photo that maybe hard to see but it was half full before I did the cleaning.
Now hardly any fuel is in the filter. I am wondering if this is normal or symptom of something I did wrong. I did mow for 20 minutes and did not seem to run out of fuel. But what caused the difference?
To be sure it wasn't a blockage, I removed the fuel line from in front of the filter and the tank drained with full force. I then refilled the tank and remove the line at the carburetor and it also drained fine after a couple seconds. The filter is a couple weeks new.
