Had fuel restrict/bog down probs @WOT so took carbs off. Not as dirty as expected but the bowls had thin films of varnish in them. Noticed small screen missing from right side of uppercarb so I replaced. <br />Finished cleaning,re-assembled/now runs better w/+500rpms. What is that screen and since missing would that have effected air mix somehow to cause bogging?

Re: small screen on carbs?

The screen stops small particles from being drawn into the carb when the throttle plate is closed at idle. It would effect idle if something were to be drawn in because it were missing.
