And I have heard it said, that felt filter fibers break off and clog up the screen in the Carb. Has anyone of you had to remove felt filter fibers from the Carb screen ? You need to be real careful when you come here, a lot of the (expert) opinions expressed here, just amount to a bunch of fabricated ''Wives Tales''.

I have used felt filter clunks for years, and check all my 6 screens yearly, and guess what; no felt fibers. [>:]

It can and does happen on occasion, so as a precaution I wash all new filters in some petrol to get rid of any loose fibers that might be present.
