    opps I misread your post..

    look at the air filter box and look on the right... there should be a red fuel line... that fuel line has the fuel filter connected to it.

    Looks like a filter but I read somewhere it is a "separator" whatever that means.. Some mechanics replace it with a normal fuel filter like the main one. I got an old one, maybe I'll open it up.

    fuel filters supposed to be designed so they won't restrict flow ! so i don't think you have to worry !
