I've found this handbook, which has lots of good information - but no specifics on how to remove/replace the screen. From looking at the schematic, I guess:
- Remove fuel hose going to carb
- Use a wrench to unscrew the fitting that the hose connected to.
- Presumably the screen is behind this fitting, and I can just remove it with my fingers?
- After cleaning, what is the appropriate treatment for reinstalling the inlet fitting? (fuel lube?) what torque?
