I use my Boris flow meter to help check for clogs.
how do you clean your tanks ? thanksRon, I thought the same thing but mine would flow fine but when fuel went through it would pack the clogged item and go lean. In my case it was chunks of o-ring from an inflight needle, I found using canned air or something with more psi works better. On Stu’s recommendation I change out all o-rings once a year and purge the fuel system as well as cleaning the tanks.
Thanks John

If you get your flow numbers by flowing through the filter it's pretty easy to tell if you have a problem due to the excessively lean numbers. I back flow my needles with Brakekleen before every race so they are clean to start the day.I use my Boris flow meter to help check for clogs.
Had the same issue. At the time trials I just could catch the gremlin. Blew out the needle and filter several times. All seemed fine. Finally Jerry open the filter up and you could see cotton like fibers in it. I guess what happened is it would effect the needle differently each run. Depending on how it bunched up. lesson learned was to visually inspect the filter.
but I also changed to these filters and they are the largest filtering capability I’ve seen. And you can take em apart by hand.
