Today I removed the 90° fuel filter fitting from the IH 240 carb. It was about 90% plugged, so I got the rubber tipped blow gun and tried blowing the filter clean from the side, but nothing came out. Wanting more air, I removed the rubber tip, and realized the threads were the same as the fuel fitting, 1/8 pipe.
Placing the filter screen into the gun, I screwed the fitting in and pressed the trigger. The crud came flying out. Removing the fitting , I saw a pincer bug in the far end. I banged the fitting on a board and the bug fell down to the 90° turn. I replaced the fitting in the gun and hit the trigger. That bug came out of there like a speeding bullet, on his last flight!!!! The filter is now clean as new.
Maybe this method will work for others with a stopped up filter.

I just get a safe distance from the tractor and flick my bic under the screen. There is usually just enough gas left in the screen to fire up and burn out the obstruction, then I just shake out the ashes. You can't put too much heat to it or you will melt out the solder that holds the screen together. Don't do it if half a pint of gas ran down your sleeve when you took things apart.
