Hello Fred,
The Walbro pump has an easily replaceable (and cleanable) screen filter. It
takes about ten minutes to do.
To quickly and easily clean a Walbro 68xx pump:
Take off the metal band mount band. (1 Nut)
Pop off the brass end caps with a flat blade screw driver
The plastic housing falls open like a clam shell
Undo the three screws holding the base triangular plate on.
Pry open the base plate with a flat blade screw driver
The screen filter will fall out into your hand.
Clean out the base chamber. The screen can be gently cleaned or replaced for
about $2.50
(Yes Walbro sells a replacement screen for this "unserviceable" filter.)
Carefully reassemble. Make sure no grit is caught in the o-ring.
Check for leaks.
Time: about ten minutes.
Money saved: $150
Let me know if you need help. I'll e-mail you pictures and directions on how
to do it.
Thank you,
Charles Bell
