We went out and flew again a couple of more times. I had an issue with the left wing tank, engine would not run as well on the left as it would on the right. Changed the brass filter to a paper one and ran the engine again. Everything seems to be ok.
Here’s a pic

I understand this is going to renew an old debate over fuel filters, but I just wanted to note that Jim was using the clear, smaller scintered bronze filter. I have a dislike of them because you cannot really tell what is going on. The small bits of fiberglass dust and assorted crud that were clogging the filter were not really visible.
I like the large clear paper filters which offer a much greater surface area for crud to accumulate. And because they are so cheap, it is a simple thing to change them often.
Yes, I know water will clog them. But I have not had that problem. If you get water, you can see it in the bottom of the filter.
I just dont like the bronze ones. Have heard too many stories from ultralight days about them
