I have the carbs out and apart right now. I had a set of "viton" needles but didn.t put them in originally. Figured now was a good time. Did the leak test and they are holding in both upside down and right side up checks. However I can't seem to get the individual bowl levels to the washer. All are about a half inch low. Have played with the float settings all day and half inch was as close as it got. Going to try the brass floats tommorrow. So to make a long story short. It probably had nothing to do with the filters but rather this condition.
These filters are not good for our bikes. They get plugged because they are too fine of a filter. I suggest staying with a paper type or screen type filter. They don't have to get fully blocked before they can't keep up with the fuel demanded... toss them and get something like jetmechmarty shows...
Could not disagree more. I've been using these filters for some time now and not a problem. You may have gotten a bad filter or a couple bad filters. Love the 90* angle and fits between the pods perfectly. Good luck whatever you choose.

He's doing the clear tubing setting/verification of the float levels with actual fuel levels in upright carbs/bowls installed connected to fuel supply, then seeing where the fuel level sits...supposed to be near the top of the float bowl...his are lower closer to the bolt/washer surface.
