Edit-never mind: used different keywords in a search and found the answer. Sorry! It appears to be tucked up at the very top of the gascolator.
After my fuel flow test I dutifully checked my gascolator for debris. Didn't see any, put gascolator back together and then just happened to read the description in Van's catalog suggesting that there is a "simple disc screen" in the gascolator.
Where? When I removed the bowl that was all there was too it. Just the bowl with the quick drain screwed into the bottom. No screen inside that I could find.
Am I missing something?
Thanks.
DESCRIPTION IN VAN'S CATALOG:
"Made of anodized aluminum, with a simple disc screen. The bottom is tapered so it drains completely. The side is drilled for mounting. Right or Left outlet. Buy 1/4' pipe plug for unused port.
Note: Quick drain for bottom is NOT INCLUDED.
If not using a primer system, you must also purchase the brass plug for the primer port."
