6 pack carb clean

Hi

Recently I had my 6 pack carbs disassembled, new gaskets and cleaned etc. The car then ran perfectly.  :2thumbs:
The rebuilder said they were full of "crap" and I needed to install an inline fuel filter.

YES, I FORGOT (yeah, yeah, I know, im a slow learner)  ::)
Now, after filling the tank and giving the car a burst along the highway, I have picked up some dirt and now the car is running poorly again, won't idle, running rich etc  :brickwall:  :brickwall:

Is there a quick fix?
I plan on installing the filter, removing the center carb needle and seat and clean, but what else can I do, without removing the front carb and center bowl?

Regards
Gary

No quick fix I know of Gary. Where is the crap coming from? I cleaned and repaired my tank and lines 17 years ago and have had no issues. There are ports for filters in each carb. at the large fitting the fuel line attaches to.  :2thumbs:

You might want to pull out the fuel tank sender and check the filter on the end.
