The fuel filter is the little post pointing vertical on #1 in this diagram
As far as I know, you cant purchase one seperate without buying a new petcock. And cleaning them is possible, but they're very delicate.
You might be better off just adding an inline fuel filter between the tank and carbs.

TROOF.

filter is not removable. whole assembly must be replaced.

I thought there were tiny fuel filters inside the carbs, as part of the float valve assembly.

Seen as #26 in the carb fiche:

I guess there are two levels of filter. At the petcock and in the carbs. BTW, the ones in the carbs are meant to be cleaned, not necessarily replaced.

Simple answer (read: cheap) was given: put an inline filter in.

But that doesn't solve the problem of existing filters that may be clogged.

the filter is in the tank. It's NOT replacable without replacing the whole unit.

True. Then you replace the whole thing.

OR, you remove the petcock, cut off the clogged filter, and then install an inline filter.
