Make sense?
YES! It's maybe a different design than I'm familiar with. I'm still wondering how any "Gunk" got into the old fuel pump. The Main fuel filter should have protected it. I would think the best arrangement would be to have the Main filter between the tank ....and pump/carb so the filter can protect the pump as well as the carb.

Glad to hear it's finally running. Time to start using "Star-Tron". ....and keep a Spare Main fuel filter in the boat because the "Gunk" will probably keep coming for awhile.

BTW: The Main fuel filter is AS Big as an Oil filter and also removes any water than comes from the tank. You can remove the filter and Shake any water out of it but the "Gunk" will STAY in the filter. NB
