2007 Rincon fuel filter replacement

today I replaced the fuel filter in the fuel pump on my 2007 Rincon, Honda has replaced the original with an upgraded one, the old filter was on the bottom of the fuel pump while the new one is in the vertical position on the side of the pump, you replace the plastic housing that slides over the pump by removing the old one and putting the new one on, there is an "O" ring at the inlet of the pump that may fall off and not be noticed, if it is missed during assembly, that little "o" ring will keep the Rincon from starting, if you check at the injector it will look like it is working but will not have enough pressure to get to the spark plug, since I didn’t have a pressure gauge I had to follow it forward to find what was happening, I had spark, fuel pump was running but it wouldn’t start, hope this might save someone a lot of head scratching, it made a job that should take abt an hour to several hours with a lot of head scratching, my wife says my hair will grow back in
