How did you clean that cigarette shaped filter? Did you run compressed air through it backwards or use a cleaning agent? I want to try and rehabilitate the one I swapped out recently. Would carby and injector cleaner work well? I have a can on hand.

Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
