redkow97 Posted December 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 $30 isn't too bad. I'll have to see what kind of shape the current 20 year old filter is in, but I can't imagine it's in great shape at this point. I have a couple of different in-line filters in my work bench. Maybe I'll run some rate-of-flow tests to see how much it slows things down with gravity on its side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 I've had luck just cleaning the stock screen with a brush and mineral spirits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was a disaster and have to be replaced outright, but hopefully you'll be better off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted December 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Well, it's in my garage. Upon closer inspection, there is more work to do than I first thought, but that always seems to be the case. As far as I can tell, the bike is complete, and my biggest challenge will be routing wires, cables, and hoses that I didn't un-hook, and never saw in their factory locations. Other than cosmetic flaws and the items the seller mentioned, all seems well. I'll post pics when I'm at a computer instead of my phone, but it looks pretty much like any other $500 bike with the tank and carbs removed.

redkow97 Posted December 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Regarding the fuel filter issue, I drained some gas from te tank through the petcock. It flows pretty well, so I'm optimistic about the screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
