Anybody got a late 170 with sediment bowl outside of side panels? I want to convert mine and need a pic of where the bracket for bowl goes. That bowl under the tank was real genius at work. Thanks Tracy Martin

Larry, mine has a bowl at the carb also. Manual shows a bracket, part # 0257497-8. Has a screw,self tapping 10 x 1/2.Mine has the bowl under tank, and it is just a problem with cutoff there. I wish I could see a pic of how they were from factory on late 170's. Thanks Tracy Martin

I just want to get rid of the leaking compression fittings and line. They will be flare fittings from here forward.I have a late model kit. Just can't figure how the sediment bowl and bracket goes. Thanks Tracy Martin

My 170 sediment bowl screws into the carb also. Cant post a picture because it is apart to install a carb kit. Anybody know where to get a new fuel shutoff to replace the leaky one under the tank?? I believe it is 1/8" NPT threads and it is a 90 degree elbow. Can't find one anywhere.
