Thanks Mumbles, good to know there’s parts available if needed.
I see in someone else’s post that the Sintered fuel filters were
said to be "Problematic for fuel starvation". I’m guessing
that’s my problem. As I was cruising, and it started to bog out,
if I’d pump the primer on the fuel tank, the engine would pick
back up again. The tank seemed to be plenty "pressurized",
so I don’t think it’s the tank or crankcase pressure bleed
causing the problem.
I see the little "thimble" sized sintered filters are still available.
Has anyone found a non-sintered replacement that fits
in the sediment bulb?
I suppose I could just leave it out and add an inline filter
before the carb, if there’s room.

Prepare to be boarded!
