Yamaha 6hp 4 stroke fuel filter not filling with fuel.

It should be possible to test the pump for proper function - there should be no need to replace it hoping for a cure.

A fuel pump should suck at one end and blow at the other and this can be measured using appropriate gauges and if those measurements are satisfactory the amount of fuel pumped can be measured...

Such tests are fairly routine on wheeled vehicles and not only are they a valuable aid to correct diagnosis they remove all doubt when warranty work is involved.

Contact your supplier, they should give support to you.

What should the correct tire pressure be on both the front and rear tires of my 2009 Yamaha V Star xvs1100 Silverado?

If you investigate on the sides of the tires there is a suggested air pressure setting that produces the lowest amount of rolling resistance for the best fuel mileage

I have a yamaha pw50 that is running backwards shay is causing it to run backwards please help

The only way it will run backwards is the timing is incorrect. If you had the flywheel or anything in the engine apart relating to the ignition pickup coils, they didnt get put back in correctly.
It's possible something is loose, and sheared the flywheel key. 2 cycle will run regardless of direction due to no valves.
