Re: [MBZ] Fuel filter misadventures

[Mitch Haley]

I've only changed the bolt-on filter on a 617 once, but here's how it went:
Replaced filter (dry, I don't like to pour unfiltered fuel into the center
where it will go straight to the IP) with the engine hot. 
Started car w/ about 1/4 throttle. It started immediately, then began to 
misfire. Tried to hold 2000rpm on the tach to keep it from stalling.
After the engine was running smoothly, let it idle a bit, then shut off. 
Total strokes on the leaky primer pump = zero.
