Go to your nearest dollar store and pick up a strainer that roughly matches (slightly smaller) the intake fairing on your motor. Remove the handle(s), cut a hole in it and insert a rubber stopper or equivalent, and you've got yourself a FOD screen on the cheap! It'll run you somewhere around $3... Either that or I can recommend a few sources that are pre-made but more expensive...

Here is the system I use for my PST's. It is a 3" tea strainer that can be purchased at any store that sells dinnerware. Just cut off the handle and the two ears oppisite the handle and you have a ready made FOD screen. Carefully cut the hole in the middle to fit the starter and seal the screen with thick CA or grommet. Slide it over the starter and hold in place with an O-ring on the starter hub.
