Hot Linc..........Hillarious for sure! Actually, that barrel filter at the base of the carb was a plastic one......so instead of wasting my energy with a 3LB hammer, the technical manuals mandate that I douse it with gas and toss a match on it.
Funny.......I get your drift, but at this point Im still diagnosing the issues, and doing my redneck "fixes" at times.
The bronze screen filter that is inbedded over an inch beyond the barrell filter looked good, and the only way to remove that is to tear down the carb (I believe).
But back to the barrell filter, do you think that was enough crud in it to restrict the gas flow enough to cause the engine to die on hard acceleration?
