Suzuki Bandit 650s in-tank fuel filter

[steve_]

Hello.
I have no power after about 6k revs and I'm struggling to get over 70mph.

After lots of forum search i found posts and videos saying that there is an in-tank fuel filter (like a tea bag) that needs cleaning and that should solve the problem.

I've just taken my tank off expecting to see a fuel pump and filter, and I don't have one!

Also I was expecting to find the primary fuel filter under the fuel tank but there isn't one there! I was expecting it to be connected to the pipe with the pink dots. That pipe runs into the carb.

I've attached some pics.

Thank you for any help.

If it`s F.I. then it needs a pump to pressurize the system.
Have you any pump noises when switching on or does it have carbs?

Hi Jaffa.
It has 4 carbs.

I've just got hold of a manual, I'm definitely missing a main fuel filter!

Should I clean my carbs ASAP? Could this have done any damage?

Thanks.

The filter should be at the top of the tap inside the tank, you may have a vacuum pipe attached to the tap as well as the fuel pipe.
The vacuum lets the fuel pee out when the engine is running.
Have you got a good fuel flow if you suck the vacuum pipe and holding the fuel pipe?
You may have a PRI position for the tap, this bypasses the diaphragm vacuum part tap opening.
