Briggs 4 HP 100232 series with Pulsa-jet adjustable carburetor with slide choke, part #297599.
Trying to get the fuel pick up tubes sorted. The shorter plastic one has broken off where it screws into the bottom of the carb. I'm not too worried about it as I will eventually drive out the stub and add a new tube if it is indeed threaded; can anyone confirm that the recess and the tube are both threaded?
The longer one is brass and upon disassembly I found that it had no screen on the bottom thus allowing a lot of filth into the carb. The filtered end piece is removable (part #296178 Filter-Fuel) and replaceable but I have not found any tutorial for removing and replacing this piece. It is brass as well. In the last pic a very visible crack is evident.
Any pointers for servicing these tubes, especially the latter one?
If I could find a super fine mesh material, it is conceivable that I could add it to the end piece and solder up the crack as well....
