i just rebuilt my carb last weekend (first time i've ever rebuilt any
carb) and there was a lot of sediment in the bottom of the carb
body. got it all back to clean and sparkly.

i have an inline "fuel water separator" filter thing. does that
also act as a fuel filter? looks like an car oil filter - seems
like it should be acting as a fuel filter, although it's obviously not
doing a very good job.

i even have a 3 year old plastic tank and new lines. all that
sediment must have been from gas sitting in the lines for a year+ not
being used ?
