    you can  also remove the sinterd filter and  just add an external one in line with the fuel supply to the carb.  I have seen them with drilled across to allow fuel to pass

    I have seen that, too….drilling holes in the old filter. I never understood that. If you were going to use an external filter, why wouldn’t you just take the whole OEM filter out??? I suppose leaving it in does preserve the bail, for the next guy to make it right again….

    Long live American manufacturing!
