Tom,
You know that there is a filter at the neck of the carb.
Be sure to replace that as it is not the particulets that is pluging the
filters, but the slime that has been in the tank befor the Ethanal can into
the gas few years ago.
The Ethanal does such a good job of cleaning the tank that this is where
the problems starts.
Less expensive to change the filters than to try to clean the tank as the
slime is at the top of the tank as well and you'll not get it all.
Having one filter right befor the pump will be good, Not after as you'll
end up with a fire when the rubber hose under pressure leaks and start a
fire.
