There is a screen above the glass bowl - is that removable for cleaning ? Also how much does the pickup tube in the tank stick up if any? Maybe it has a screen in the tank ? There was a few pieces of rust in the bowl when I removed it - very little,maybe some got into the carb? [Reply]   [No Email]

Are you saying you put more gas in the tank and now the sediment bowl is not filling up with gas??? If yes then that is doing as it should and the carb is full of gas from the last little bit that had been in the tank so the float is up and the needle is closing off the line so the sediment bowl can not fill with gas it is already full of another sort of non liquid liquid which is air. Start it up and watch the bowl it will fill [Reply]  [No Email]

I now have a small miss in it under load - maybe it will work it self out ! I drove it some & its got better . Thanks for all who responded !! Bobby [Reply]  [No Email]

When she stops I clean the bowel and screen then put it all back together. Then take the small portable air compressor to the tractor and blow back thru every thing from the carburetor into the tank with the cap off. Seems to last most most of the summer. Some day I gotta clean that tank. (:^D [Reply]  [No Email]

The screen comes out so you can clean it. be careful of the gasket, the cork breaks up real easy. [Reply]  [No Email]
