Carb Screen
Anyone know if there is any problem running Zenith carb with the inside filter screen removed? Just screen removed threaded fitting installed.

Re: Carb Screen
I can’t imagine why you would not use the screen, but if your tank is clean, it won’t hurt anything leaving it out.

Re: Carb Screen
I had an issue recently where the threads on the filter part were stripped, so I briefly ran the car with just a standard bolt in there to plug the hole. Worked fine. Leaked a little out of the threads, but that was expected.

Re: Carb Screen
Just make sure your fuel line does not touch the screen. It will block flow.

remove the filter at the carb, in my opinion there is better fuel flow without it.

I concur with those who have said that the car will run fine without the filter in the carburettor but I'd replace it as soon as convenient.
