    Jeff Register graciously sent me a sample of his air conditioning Evaporator
    coil cleaner and I’ve been soaking and back flushing the sintered filter for
    the Evinrude the last few days.
    I did a timed flow test using water before I started cleaning the filter,
    pouring a cup of water in my funnel and marking the time when the
    water quit running out of the carb body. After using the solution and
    blowing air thru the carb body and filter (reverse of normal flow thru filter)
    I gain a 25% improvement in flow thru the sintered filter.
    I presume gas would flow thru the filter better than water.
    The real test will be when I can get the boat back on the lake!
    Thanks Jeff for you help and generosity!
