Gauze Screen

1st post, and I still have zero miles on my XJ650J

So, do I need the Gauze Screen. I'm doing a carb rebuild on a bike that has been sitting. When I got to the screen I noticed that one of the 4 is mangled and another is falling off the float needle seat. The rebuild kit doesn't come with a screen.

I appreciate the help.

just toss them and put an inline filter in the line form the tank.

If you want them I'm sure Chacal has them. But, as FtUp said, a good inline filter will solve the problem and probably provide better protection anyway.

 

Meh, cheap protection, why not replace them?

 

Yes, we do have them, although there are a couple of different styles, depending on what float valves youa re using:

fnv2) Aftermarket Hitachi fuel inlet - float valve needle seat FILTER SCREEN. These small mesh screen filters snap onto the top of the float needle valve seat and help to keep crud, junk, and other kinds of cosmic debris out of the carbs. These filter screens are included in some of the replacement float needle valve assemblies and lower end rebuild kits listed above; but, if you want to re-use your original valve seats, we still recommend the replacement of these screens. Fits all Hitachi HSC32 and HSC33 models carbs.

NOTE: screens are not interchangeable between different style seats, since the style and diameter of the screen seat boss is different between each type of seat. Make sure that you properly identify which style seat you have before ordering replacement filters.

HCP9855 Aftermarket Hitachi fuel inlet - float valve needle seat FLAT FILTER SCREEN, use one per carb, for use with float valve seats that have a 5.10mm screen boss (used on some original seats, and on the HCP1 aftermarket and the HCP10 oem seat assemblies). This style screen pushes straight onto the brass seat screen boss. Each:

HCP2644 Aftermarket Hitachi fuel inlet - float valve needle seat FLAT FILTER SCREEN, use one per carb, for use with float valve seats that have a 4.53mm screen boss (used on some original and aftermarket seats). This style screen pushes straight onto the brass seat screen boss. Each:

HCP869 Aftermarket Hitachi fuel inlet - float valve needle seat DOMED FILTER SCREEN, use one per carb, for use with float valve seats that have a a 6.57mm boss with a 7.30mm "capture lip" (used on many original seats and the HCP17176 aftermarket seats). This style screen "snaps" onto the capture lip of the brass seat screen boss. Each:

Thanks everyone. I don't feel like waiting for the screens to come in so I'll go with an inline filter.

Beanie filters..
