No fuel getting to engine (runs fine on starter fluid sprayed in air cleaner) ... so I look for fuel filter and find nothing as it should be according to what others have found. Both components pictured are in general area where filter should be... rusty one looks like a pump but fuel pump is supposed to be in the tank. Could it be that the aftermarket box installer installed a different fuel pump and perhaps the (impossible to get to) black plastic thing is the fuel filter ?
FWIW, the rusty component seems to have fuel lines going in and out, plus many electrical wires (a dozen or so) . The black plastic thing has just 2 or 3 wires.
