Suction Screen Hydralic Tank

Do All Machine Have a suction screen On The pickup if so what systoms would it cause

I believe they did.
If its clogged, you won't get enough fuel to the engine. The primer bulb usually sucks its self flat.
At startup it may run well, but then bog down. Moving the throttle lever will have little to no effect on making it rev faster.

I think the older ones had something like that, but the newer ones do not (new as in 80s on). Some have a screen for where you pour in the oil, but not on the suction line to the pump

Best place for any filter is at output of valve body before it returns to tank. Some pressure is available to feed the filter and it won't increase cavitation in the pump due to supply restriction. Sure the old M isn't going to see a lot of hours so longevity isn't really a concern but cold oil problems go away, a smaller filter will work great, and your pump will thank you in the long run.
