Yamaha 2b

Just servicing the trusty Yamaha 2b. Every couple of years I have to clean out the carb float chamber which gets contaminated with small particles. I can't see a fuel filter anywhere. I was wondering why it never had one or am I missing something.

The fuel filter is attached to the fuel tap and is inside the tank.


You have to unscrew the tap complete with filter.

Thanks for the info. Really helpful. The motor is 20 years old. I'm amazed it's run this long with the same filter. I suspect it's probably broken up which might explain the contamination in the float chamber.

Bit of a mystery. The filter is intact and looks pristine. I wonder where the grit like substance in the float chamber comes from. I suppose it could only be corrosion deposits from the float chamber itself.

Maybe deterioration of fuel hose?

I've fitted something like this between tank and carb.
