Johnson A-45 Fuel Screen

[steveh]

The fuel screen for my Johnson A-45 is a little beat up:

I’m having trouble finding a source for it, but I could probably make one if I could find the appropriate sized brass mesh. Any sources for this?

Thanks,

Steve.

I made one out of a old coffee filter ( gold color screen type) . You can also find the 100 mesh screen on Ebay in small quantities.

Here is a source http://www.enginads.com/pedersen/
I have bought a nice plug wire from him but not this screen.It’s listed under gas tanks.

A lot of members here make their own.

Get a piece of wire mesh and cut a piece to fit.
Then wrap it around a small cylindrical object to form the roundness.
Once your screen is formed to fit to your petcock, solder the seams.

I get the plastic in line fuel filters made for lawn mowers and cut them open to get the screen out.

A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.

Steve,

I have some 100mesh brass screen you can have if you give me your mailing address. Send me a PM.
