Ok Merc issues

[macojoe]

Ok I took the filter off and there was no water at all!!

BUT what I did find was a bunch of metal shavings??? When I say a bunch ity was not loaded but there were more then just a few pieces, and how much was stuck in the filter I have no idea??

I am waiting for a friend right now and we are going to take it for a ride.

But with metal shavings in the plastic bowl that you drain, do you think it got to the motor or fuel pump, and carbs??

not sure how these filters work?
