Dodgy fuel filter - Dirt may be inside carby..

[BrentE]

I fixed leak in fuel tank awhile ago, and had to drain all fuel out of tank into bucket n jerry can's. A fair bit of dirt got into the buckets of fuel somehow and when i filled tank back up i didn't realize. After running it on petrol for a bit the fuel filter got clogged and wouldn't even run properly on petrol.

I cleaned the fuel filter out best i could so it would run in mean time until i got new filter, other day i took it out to replace and noticed the actual filter inside fuel-filter was rattling around.. im hoping no dirt got into carby.. since the fuel wasn't really filter'd well.

Should i be worried about abit of dirt inside carby? It was only run on petrol for around 30mins.

Cheers brent
