If ever one blow compressed air into that suction hose with a pick-up screen filter w. a "back-flow ball" you probably will shoot the screen off the hose and down the tank bottom. By the way, in my old 643 I had two different pick-up screens rattling around lose in the bottom of my gas tank. One with that back-flow "ball" and the other without it. I dismounted my gas tank and cleaned it out. Lots of other debris inside(!) but I guess the 643 tank is easier to access than yours?</p></blockquote><p></p>
