Wow been too long, is there a bracket on the VP, I cannot believe I don't remember

 

it is on the back bottom side it is a pain to find and get to

 

tea there is a bracket on the bottom side towards the back if i remember right. those things dont just pop loose just like that. they are pressed in there nice and tight. last time i replaced one i had to torque it soo much i thought i was gonna break somethin so i stopped for a min. went to reach my hand in again and it popped on its own. be patient with it itll come loose.

 

ok well what u need to do is check ur fuel filter for metal or brass i had a lot of it when my vp44 went bye bye. to check cut a piece or ur filter out and put it in a vise squeeze the fuel out of it and then open it up and look
