Should I put a plastic one on there? Like the one that ruptured and
caused my engine fire? ;-) It has a filter built into the inlet that
is "supposed" to be enough. Anyone else agree that an extra inline
filter would be a good idea? Thank you.

Re: Carburetor woes
On a Jeep, yes.
I always get some dust or bits of mud/dirt around my gas cap so some
falls in every time it opens.
I always carry a spare filter too.
You also could have vapor lock issues without the dual outlet filter and
the return line.

Re: Carburetor woes
I've never seen a plastic one big enough, you need a full 3/8" ID
otherwise you might as well have the Carter two barrel. Get rid of any
others you have especially the ones at the Holley if they still use
them, they clog easily then spring bypass all the crap in at once. I use
the ones we find at Hot Rod Shops, with site glass.
