Motorcycle Repair: Location of fuel filter, yamaha virago 250, petcock

Question
Hi,
Could you please tell me the location of the fuel filter on a 1993 Yamaha Virago 250?

Answer
June, I went to http://www.powersportspro.com/partsfish/login.asp
and checked for your model, but only found ones from the late 1990s listed.

Doesn't seem to have an inline filter, only the screen that is part of the petcock, up inside the fuel tank. You will have to drain the tank, remove the petcock and check the screen which will either come down with the petcock assy or be stuck up inside the fuel tank opening.
