Default Bobcat rigging....

Hi Todd,

I'm sure opinons will vary - but my preference would be for the filter to be after the pump. That way, if the pump should for any reason shed any material, it gets caught in the filter instead of going through the engine.

That's not a bash at the quality of the pump BTW - just me being cautious. Just two weeks ago at the Reno Air Races, we had a $1000 high-spec ADI pump start shedding minute bits of plastic after only 30 minutes of use... so if this can happen with a $1000 part, it can surely happen on our relatively cheaper and lower-spec parts.
