Yes, and it's a costly and hard to reach part.

Fuel's corrosive enough that the fly should biodegrade fine, I wouldn't worry about it. If you end up getting some fuel starvation issues, I'll post more details on how to get to the filter.

Are you sure?
I've had a look on the Partzilla microfiche pages and can't see one.

Looks like its not listed as a separate part for the 125 then.
Which is odd.
