This spring I bought a new JD ez-trak it has a B&S V-twin on my old 180 I have always used a FL-1 on it and I wanted to get an automotive filter for the new one.
The filter at my local JD dealer is priced outrageous
I wanted to find a good filter with a good price and if it was something that I already keep in stock that would really be good.
The FL-1 is too long not enough room between the engine and frame but the FL-910s that fits my Focus fits.
The 910s is about a inch longer than the JD filter but that is not a problem it fits.
It is larger diameter canister but the seal is the same as the JD filter.
The 910s has a ADBV so it should be ok using it horizontal the relief bypass opens at 14.5 psi while the Briggs opens at 9 psi so I would be less likely to be bypassing dirty oil.
The only spec I can not find for the Briggs is flow rate.
The FL-910 gives the flow rate but nothing to compare it to.
Common sense tells me if it flows enough for a 2.0 L 4 cylinder at 7000 rpm it should be enough for a 724CC at 3400 rpm.
This is available at Wal Mart Auto Zone it is cheap and I already keep those on the shelf anyway and the Motorcraft filters are made by Purolator good filter for the money I have used them for 40 years these are really good filters.
This looks like a win-win to me.
Instead of 14 Bucks at my local JD dealer I can buy the 910s for $3.85 and have a better filter.
Anyone wanting to change the thread is a 3\4-16 same as what Ford uses.
GM uses 13\16-16 won't work.
I have been using a FL-1 on my Kawasaki in my 180 for 25 years and saved a ton of money. :biggrin:
