The fuel filter is on the passenger side of the fuel tank just inboard & in front of the rear tire. Loosen the hose clamp around the filter body and pop the little clips on the hoses and it pulls right out. Open the gas cap and have some rags handy to catch spillled gas when the hoses some loose. BTW: you can test your IMRC while parked in the driveway by operating the throttle by hand and watching the IMRC linkage when the RPMs climb above 3.7K or so.
Easier way to do this is to pull the fuel pump fuse (Check your owners manual as it may vary from different model years), and then crank the engine for about 5 seconds (You'll notice it won't start :p ). This way the fuel pressure is dropped and you won't have gas spraying all over. THEN take off/replace the fuel filter.
Gasoline + Eyeballs = Sunglasses & Cane :p
