So I put a filter on my plug wire like suggested. Now the damn thing won't start. Do I need to install a primer bulb as well?

The filter goes on the primary side of the ignition, not that it's going to help much!

But there was 5 guys on facebook that said this was correct

Are you sure the filter is turned the right direction ?????

See, this is what pisses me off about the internet. If it's not blatant misinformation you're being fed, they're always leaving out one or two critical steps to ensure success.

It looks like they forgot to mention you've got to pre-fill the filter with miniature lightning bolts. To get rid of the radio noise, try cutting the wires to the speakers, you should notice a change in the noise immediately.

That's a fuel filter. It only works when there is fuel in there

Sorry. After posting that I thought it was a bad idea. Next time

If it were a metal filter that wouldn't have turned out that way. Those dern plastic filters get eaten up by ethanol.
