There is another fuel filter on these carbs we all use.-- FIRST- do not use carb cleaner. go to wal-mart. automotive area. buy a spray can- make shure the red tube is taped to the can--- CRC ELECTRONIC CLEANER,- 5 dollars. On the bottom of these carbs, there is a large bolt. When you remove the bolt and are holding the carb with you other hand- do not squeeze the brass throttle shaft- it bends easly.-- Remove bolt- carefully remove thin plate the bolt goes tru. the thick gasket is on the thin plate with hole for bolt.-- On the main carb body, there is a very thin materal with 2 cutouts- flappers- this is the fuel pump.-- mark with felt pen on the fuel pump - the one with the 2 flapper valves- so you do not reassemble this fuel pump diaphram upside down-- on the main carb body- you will see a round screen- do not remove it.-- just spray it with the crc electronic cleaner if you see dirt- other junk on the screen-- crc electronic cleaner is harmless- use all you want- In order-- reinstall thin carb fuel pump diaphram to main carb body-- then reinstall the thicker gasket- install bolt- tighten well and tight-- a big good fitting flat blade screwdriver tightens better--agan- as you hold carb with other hand- do not sqeeze the ends of the brass throttle shaft- it bends easly--- DO NOT mess with the purge bulb area- not yet.-- if more folks want me to-- i will explain in detail how to do this-- its not like the fuel pump for some nasa secret area 51 site-- its a simple single little carb. better lear this than spend 50-75 bucks everytime the car screws up-- it all part of the fun of learning----- look at my avatar- one fine day-- i will learn to cut my own hair--
