I was about to slap on a new fuel filter "real quick" but when I looked at the filter that's on there now (I think that's a fuel filter I'm looking at) it's a little metal canister, not a plastic one like I've put on all my other 1st gens. Its an inline filter just like the plastic one I bought, and its in the spot where the fuel filter should be.....

Could it be the original filter??? Did they look like that in the past? That would explain my stalling/dying problem that I researched today.

Waiting for response...........

My old 83 GS used a plastic filter.

And, the original filter that was on it when I bought it made it stall, run like ****, and not make it up hills. Of course, I switched fuel pumps at the same time, and it was cured!

Yea my 85 gsl had a metal canister type gas filter replaced it with a plastic (white) filter and runs as good as the day she rolled out of Japan!

My 83 uses the plastic one.

There were some replacement fuel filters in the storage bins of my '83 GS when I bought it. All are plastic.

Plastic, metal, depends on manufacturer.

What matters is 8mm in, 8mm out.
