There is the screen that should be inside the tank on top of the sediment bowl and that is the one that is most likely to be the problem. But it could also be the one at the bowl assembly that sits just above the bowl it self. or even the one in the carb elbow. If I where you I would drain the tank then remove the sediment bowl assembly and clean it up and the other 2 while I was at it [Reply]   [No Email]

Of course I could also be wrong and it is something else also [Reply]  [No Email]

When the tank is full the gas is above that filter. The top of the standpipe filter is open. [Reply]  [No Email]
