I had a heck of a time getting all the air out of the fuel filter on the 6.5.
It caused it to occasionally die for no good reason. Usually happened shortly after start-up. If the batteries are good you could keep winding on it and it would start again, rev it to the moon and hope it got whatever air was trapped in the system out... The placement of the cartridge style filter leaves much to be desired. Kudos for the change in fuel filter placement on the 6.6.
