Check the secondaries also, that can only help the situation. If you got alot of gunk out of the primary, check the 2 others!

Mine had been sitting a while. I can't believe it ran at all when I got it.

I'm suprised it ran at all. You might want to check your fuel tank. Might want to flush it out.

What is the long filter on the left, certainly not a M/F deuce primary....which is a short paper filter, albeit metal wrapped in some iterations.????

I believe that on another filter thread here, that some folks had found this long filter in their primary canister direct from the gummint. Obviously the spring and assorted hardware that keeps the standard shorty filter suspended was MIA....

Ace, That type of filter is cleanable and re useable. It does need the cup and spring to be effective though. I have a short one made of the same material. It's supposed to be white!
Thats a micro-bond filter element
My M-37 and my M-38 had this type filter element mounted on the pickup tube in the fuel tank. They were also in other M-series. It has a 30-40 micron rating and resistant to passing water, they don't have much of filter surface area so they clog quicker than pleated paper elements BUT ( as mentioned) they are cleanable. I pulled mine out of the (37) tank and put a spinon filter under the bed.

They seal the same as the ones with the cork gaskets, with the little cone at the bottom. When I got my 1st set of filters, the primary was the white, re usable one. I thought it was incorrect, so Im called Norm...AVTE..and he took the time to splain me 'bout it. Then I saw a post from cranetruck about them. I can't post pics now...guess it takes a few days to rid my account of stuff. I'll post a pic of the short filter when i'm able to.
