I have heard that on our bikes if you use an inline filter they start starving after a long pull. Anybody seen this?

If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I think that as long as you use a gravity fed filter you shouldnt have any trouble. Someone else with more info might chime in.

Many times (too many, actually), a bike owner will simply go to Auto Zone and grab a fuel filter to throw on the bike. Most of the filters that are made for cars have a bit of restriction in the filter media because they are designed for vehicles with fuel pumps. Your only "pump" is gravity, so you need a filter that is more free-flowing than average. If you look for a filter that is designed for a lawn tractor, it will work better than most automotive filters.
Why do you think you need a filter in the first place? :-k
There is supposed to be a filter around the intake of the petcock. That is a very fine mesh, not much is going to get past. At the inlet valve in each carb is supposed to be another filter, but I have seen many of them removed. Why do you need a third filter in the system?

I think that says it all sir. The gravity fed fuel system does not like restriction. A filter for a small engine (lawn mower, tiller, sno-blower) will work. There is a very fine screen inside your tank. pull the petcock and check it out.
