Swen,
If you have an in-line filter between the pump & carb, I suggest pulling the sintered filters & leaving them out. Double filtration is uneccessary. They should not be contaminated by the way, the in-line filter should have prevented any contaminants ever reaching the sintered filters.
By the way, what rpm do you have your idle set at?
