unblocking gauze in pierburg 1b

[jimbob-mcgrew]

the old 1.2's started playin up a bit and ive got a small cross continental drive to make next month, so i need it good.
where can i find the inlet gauze on the 1b carb and is there an easy way to do it without pulling the carb apart. i have gasket paper i can cut to size if i need to pull it apart.
ive heard people say there worth pulling apart anyway as theres always sediment and crap in the float bowl.
cheers for any help.

Get yourself some carb cleaner, a pressurised spray can, it give a very powerful blast and should help remove dirt. Or do it the oldskool way by covering the carb with your hand whilst it's running. The vacuum will suck anything through with a bit of luck.

But I'd go with option one :)
