I would like to add a fuel filter to prevent dirt from getting into the carbs, but I'm afraid that with only gravity to feed the fuel through, the fuel filter may cause to much restriction. Can anyone out there recomend a fuel filter that will work?

Which fuel filter should I use?
I have a 78 GS550, and I've cleaned out the carbs before, but the bike is acting like the carbs are clogged up again. I am going to do a petcock rebuild just in case it is clogged and starving the bike for fuel.

Any inline paper element fuel filter will work.
I used this one from Emgo on my GS1000 and it is working great:

Fuel filters are potential trouble and not necessary.
The tank should be sealed if you have any rust problems. The fine screen on the petcock is all you need for catching particles.And on the seventh day,after resting from all that he had done,God went for a ride on his GS!
Upon seeing that it was good, he went out again on his ZX14! But just a little bit faster!
