To get the inlet valve screen off use a small screwdriver and put it in one of the notches and push. Do this in a shop towel so it doesn't go a fly'n.

I was skeered to get the screen out so I cleaned mine with carb spray in a can. I wish people who spray a little cleaner on their carbs and call them clean could have seen under the seats in mine! Bad bad bad!Comment

Hey dipped first carb last night,wasn't thinking about it being a painted carb (black),came out all gummy half paint gone .Cleaned it and got 80%of paint off and put it back in the dip.Has any one done this before or do i win moron of the week honors?Do you blast the paint off before you dip them or is putting them in dip painted acceptable ?I'm thinking i might have ruined my dip?All suggestions and info appreciated, THANKS

You might want to find someone with a walnut shell blaster now to clean the rest of the paint off. Go easy on the metal parts or you will remove the plating and the hardware will rust.Ed
To measure is to know.

Fuel inlet T-fitting
I'm doing my carbs and noticed the fuel inlet t-fitting seems rubber coated or maybe its just alot of paint?I noticed a small gouge out of the outer o-ring , Do you replace these o-rings,i didn't get any for this fitting in my o-ring kit so im sure you don't. Should i dip the fitting or just spray out with carb clean?Maybe i need a new fitting,what do you think?Thanks

If you have dissolved the rubber coating off the inlet "T" or pipes it is possible to use the correct thickness electrical "shrink-on" material to make a repair.Comment
