adsm08 3,565 #6 Posted September 7 (edited) @Nutiket PM @76c12091520h He and his dad deal in NOS parts and other assorted peripherals, and he is just on the north side of Sunbury out past the old hospital. He might have something in stock for you, and being that close you should be able to get it same day. Plus I have just found him to be a great source for parts in general.

Ed Kennell 42,957 #11 Posted September 8 Your choice on screen or no screen, but I prefer no screen. I like the filter in the line where I can see it. I find many of the in tank screens clogged. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 9,429 #12 Posted September 8 @ NUTKET found using , dielectric grease on every rubber to metal connection , made for much easier hook ups also like a filter close to tank and just before carb , BTW since going over to fuel STA BIL , ounce or two , to every tank top off , change out of original hose , have zero fuel hose debris , in any filter , fuel bowl on carb always , clean / clear , just another experiment on a REPEDITIVE PROBLEM . been years now . no fuel hose break down , pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
