Re: rxp fuel filter and oil siphon kit questions

You can buy one of these oil suction pumps from an auto/boat store. The filter is at the back of the engine and is a cartridge type filter. You will need a reverse torx socket #8 to remove the cap.

It's in the gas tank and does not need replacement for a long time.

When you look for the siphon kit make sure it will go down thru the dipstick hole. It's not very big. I have one made by TEMPO that came with 3 or 4 ends and the small one fits. It's much smaller than a car.

RE fuel filter
i have an rxp with 38 hrs but always had problems with max speed.Dealer changed sc lit but still it runs less than 64 mph.Dealer checked fuel pump and found it to be faulty now i am waiting for new pump hope this is the real culprit,the pressure was falling when pressure testing the system.
The fuel filter looked like it needs replacing it is quit difficult to blow through it ,is it available as a part as dealer does not know.
thanks for your help

have you check the oil level for the loss of speed ? if over filled it will slow you down a lot

Re: rxp fuel filter and oil siphon kit questions

I checked everything that i could think of, fuel quality,silicone lump in tunnel,sc clutch,but when pressure tested the fuel system pressure goes down and according to the technician he told me the pump is faulty i hope he is right as i am not very happy with the performance.
He will change it as soon as he has one in stock
The fuel filter i tried to blow through it and it is very restrictive i dont know if it is such designed it has like felt as well as the usual mesh but i never checked a new one so i cant say .
I like to know what part number and supplier so i buy a spare one.
thanks for your reply
