Carb. filter screen

[hogdoctor]

I rebuilt the carb on my 1974 eska 5 HP and somehow lost the filter/screen that goes in the carb. The carb is a tecumseh which has a small screen that goes the fuel inlet on the carb. I have called and gone to several small motor repair shops and no one can help me.
Does anyone have one of these laying around their shop that I can buy?

i have seen that screen in small 2 stroke carb kits for line trimmers and other rebuild kits for the zama and walbro carb kits. i'll try and see if i can locate one in our extra parts bin in the shop for you.if i happen to find one i'll send you a pm, otherwise i would take mr crabs advice. good luck with your rebuild

I've seen stainless screens in head shops, too. You can cut them with good scissors. Are there still head shops?
