Fuel Filter, Air Filter, and Choke Components

1. Modeling the Fuel Filter Bracket

• Use the Line Tool to trace the outline of the bracket.
• Ensure symmetry by drawing one side and mirroring it.
• Attach a circular cutout to the line model.
• Use Refine to add vertices at intersections.
• Delete unnecessary internal line segments.
• Weld overlapping vertices to create a closed spline.
• Apply Fillet to round out sharp corners.
• Convert the spline into a polygon and apply Shell for thickness.
• Create a box shape in the center and align it.

2. Shaping the Fuel Filter Bracket

• Adjust the box’s height and width based on the reference.
• Delete the bottom face to save geometry.
• Add Chamfer to the edges to soften transitions.
• Reset X-Forms to ensure uniform scaling.
• Use Inset and Bridge to add guiding edges.
• Apply smoothing groups to achieve realistic lighting transitions.
• Attach the bracket and align it to the generator.

3. Creating the Fuel Filter

• Create a cylinder and align it with the bracket.
• Adjust the radius and height to match the reference.
• Use Chamfer on the bottom edge.
• Duplicate the existing hex bolt for attachment.
• Use the Create Shape from Selection tool to generate an O-ring.
• Enable Viewport Display and adjust the thickness of the O-ring.
• Scale and align the O-ring properly.

4. Adding the Fuel Filter Cap

• Inset and scale the top of the cylinder to create a lip.
• Extrude upwards to form the cap’s body.
• Add a box on top of the cap for additional details.
• Align the box properly and adjust proportions.
• Chamfer the bottom edge of the filter for smooth transitions.
• Attach the cap and filter body as one object.

5. Positioning the Fuel Filter Assembly

• Adjust rotation and position to fit behind the air filter.
• Ensure the cap is aligned with the reference images.
• Use Edit Poly to fine-tune height and placement.
• Duplicate and place a nut at the bottom for securing the filter.

6. Creating the Air Filter Box

• Start with a simple box and scale it accordingly.
• Adjust its depth and position to match reference images.
• Apply beveling to the edges to match the soft metal structure.
• Skip unnecessary details like the latch mechanism since it's a proxy.

7. Adding the Choke Lever

• Create a simple floating piece to indicate choke functionality.
• Position it near the air filter for accurate representation.
