My Fuel Filter was mounted to the right inner fender.
Is that the correct location?

That's not a fuel filter, it's an oil filter! Looks like a po has rigged something up to make a makeshift filter for the fuel. The correct filter would be the glass bowl type that mounts inline, usually on the inlet of the carb.

The mounting was not made very professional so I thought that it was not correct/original but there was definitely fuel going through.

That's the first time I've ever seen that! At least you won't have to go looking for an oil filter canister when you decide to filter your oil. grin

Wow - that's bizarre.
A remote oil filter canister used as a fuel filter.
I wonder if that was done for some purpose or the installer just didn't know any better.

The previous owner had 2 extra gas tanks in a bad condition. Maybe it was necessary to use that "oversized" fuel filter bacause of rust ;-)
Thanks for your help!
