crusty..... ..glad you like yer 8N, ALWAYS turn OFF yer under the tank GLASS fuel filter. 2-turns fer ON. When starting, ittza 2-rumpa-rumpas BEFORE a QUICK pull on yer spring loaded choke knobby. Remember yer starter motor switch and ignition switch are NOT interconnected. Lotta newbie tractor drivers fergitt to turn ON the IGNITION switch. (BTDT, grin) I have NO PROBLEM with GAS rated rubber hoze. (ittza printed on the rubber) As fer auxiliary filter, remember filters have a "direction" to be mounted in yer GRAVITY fed fuel system. Many times yer filter DRAINS clear of fuel thru the carbie float scheme. Donna worry, itt'll fill just as soon as yer tractor engine starts suckin air thru the carbie. Sometimes, when it don't fill'em-up, ittz 'cuz mud-dobbers done closed-up the vent hole in the DOME at the front of the tank where you can't see it or gitt-too-itt. Just un-screw yer gastank capple and relive the VACUUM. They sell a VENTED gascap that solves the clogged dome vent problem. You know it is eazy to keep the top-half of yer 10-gal gas tank full so the bottom half don't rust. Unfortunately, modern no-lead gas is fulla additives that can CLOG yer brass jets. Then you haffta do a carb boil-out and clean-up with caustic carb dip. I use pressurized BRAKE cleaner to blow thru things. TIP: gitta acetylene gas welder tip cleaner to make certain yer brass jets are clean. Don't try to remove the MAIN jet at the bottom of the carb bowl. It take special long NARROW blade screwdriver. (it seldom clogs) BTW, you can NOT vapor lock a gravity fed system. ..... .HTH, Dell
