We have a 1987 Force 125 that we are just finishing rebuilding.

The one part that I haven't been able to find is the filter screens for the fuel recirculation puddle drains. As far as I can tell, no one offers a direct replacement or a substitute.

I've been looking at alternative sources such as motorcycle engines and small engines for trimmers and lawn mowers. But I still haven't come up with anything I could use to replace them, even if I have to trim up my own from another material.

I included a picture of the screens below. They are about the size of a dime and seem to be stainless steel. They are a VERY fine mesh, almost a cloth. If you compare it to the screen for a faucet (a 1.5 gpm aerating screen) the mesh is at least twice as small.

The inlet hole is very small and I am sure could easily be clogged if the filter isn't fine enough.

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions of a substitute we could use to replace these screens?

Thanks for your help

I see you have a 140, I'll check to see if they list them for the 140 (they didn't for the 125)

I'm betting they are the same part?

what do you think?

they are the same, they are both part number F93811.

Which of course means they aren't availble. (bummer)

Thanks for the suggestion
