    david, you had a good point. the filter wasn’t very dirty near the top….especially considering how much gas/oil mix I ran through it a half century ago…but down near the bottom it was really gunk and varnish galore.

    I have had good luck cleaning the sintered brass filters by soaking in Simple Green diluted 50% with water for a couple days. DO NOT use carb cleaner as it can dissolve whatever holds it all together. If it is a screen type, I usually make new ones with some brass screen from the hardware store and solder it to the original base,
