Carb gas strainer

Post by Ray III » Fri Dec 28, 2018 4:10 pm

Is the strainer on a 420 carb supposed to be open on the end of the screen or do I need to solder mine shut? The fuel line currently has an inline filter but I need to get rid of it because it doesn't allow the gas to flow, need to make sure the strainer is going to work.

It is typically closed to catch debris.
