[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3668954, member: 15054"] I have seen what kind of crud build up can be in an old steel fuel line some are plugged with so much crud they barely trickle any fuel out of them. All my old vehicles got new steel line installed in them and all my vehicles regardless of new or old line got a filter right before the carburetor. I would not warranty a carburetor rebuild unless it had a filter before the carburetor. Many carburetors have a filter built into them. Some of those were a bit restrictive and some carburetors had a fine screen basket pushed into the back side of the seat to catch any last bit of crud that could get between the needle and seat and flood out the engine and cause poor running or a fire. What you have done so far looks good. [/QUOTE]
