<VV> 140 woes...continued

[Cash Case]

So... a week or so ago I sent an email asking about what would make  
my engine run like crap. The left bank was not firing. It only fired  
when the secondaries opened up.

Some of your suggestions were clogged carbs. I took that carb off and  
opened it up. I expected rusty junk from the tank. Nope! it was  
something that looked fiberous, like some kind of grass like plant.  
It was stuck in the brass fitting at the bottom of the bowl. I can't  
remember what it's called, but I unscrewed it and pulled it out and  
got some tweezers to pull the stuff out of it. I then put it all back  
together and started it up. It ran a lot better but it's still a bit  
rough. I have no idea what it was that I pulled out of the driver's  
side primary carb. No rust though. I ran it around for a bout ten  
minutes and it ran ok. It ran a little rough at fairly high  
revolutions and stumbled. Later it started to run a little crappy  
again. I'm going to take both carbs apart and i'll bet I find junk in  
both of them again. I'm going to install a glass inline filter, but  
I'm confused. The gold stone filters are installed. How could  
something as big as what I pulled out of the bottom of the bowl get  
into the carb through the gold stone. Is there something inside the  
carb that could be coming apart?
