Book Excerpt: 1973-1991 Johnson Evinrude Outboard Repair Manual 60-235 HP FUEL FILTER

A fuel filter is designed to keep particles of dirt and debris from entering the carburetors and clogging the tiny internal passages of either. A small speck of dirt or sand can drastically affect the ability of the fuel system to deliver the proper amount of air and fuel/oil to the engine. If a filter becomes clogged, the flow of gasoline will be impeded. This could cause lean fuel mixtures, hesitation and stumbling and idle problems in carburetor. Regular cleaning or replacement of the fuel filter (depending on the types or types used) will decrease the risk of blocking the flow of fuel to the engine, which could leave you stranded on the water. It will also decrease the risk of damage to the small passages of a carburetor that could require more extensive and expensive replacement. Keep in mind that fuel filters are usually pretty inexpensive (at least when compared to a tow) and replacement is a simple task. Service your fuel filter on a regular basis to avoid fuel delivery problems. The type of fuel filter used on your engine will vary not only with the year and model, but also with the accessories and rigging. Because of the number of possible variations it is impossible to accurately give instructions based on model. Instead, we will provide instructions for the different types of filter the manufacturer used on various families of motors or systems with which they are equipped. To determine what filter(s) are utilized by your boat and motor rigging, trace the fuel line from the tank to the fuel pump and then from the pump to the carburetors (or pre-mix oiling system, whichever is applicable). In addition to the fuel filter mounted on the engine, a filter is usually found inside or near the fuel tank. Because of the large variety of differences in both portable and fixed fuel tanks, it is impossible to give a detailed procedure for removal and installation. Most in-tank filters are simply a screen on the pick-up line inside the fuel tank. Filters of this type usually only need to be cleaned and returned to service (assuming they are not torn or otherwise damaged). Fuel filters on the outside of the tank are typically of the inline type and are replaced by simply removing the clamps, disconnecting the hoses and installing a new filter. When installing the new filter, make sure the arrow on the filter points in the direction of fuel flow.
