Fuel System - not so much with the gagging on junk please

We lost many hours in the last race to junk in the fuel system.

Here's what we did to improve this.

1) Clean out the fuel filter between the fuel regulator and the carburetor (left) and the fuel filter inside the fuel pump (right):


2) Install an In-Tank fuel filter. This one is from Yamaha for jet-ski's and 4 wheelers, but it seemed large enough to not restrict fuel flow (did I just say "it seemed like a good idea at the time"? uh oh)


3) Throw away the old and probably methanol-dissolved fuel cell foam and install new anti-slosh-anti-explosion methanol resistant fuel cell foam. 6 blocks seemed to do the trick. I cut holes in the area under the fill cap so we can see the level as well fill...
