oil filter screenoil filter screenas i have my engine apart, i realized that the oil screen is severely damaged so i need to remove and/or replace it. does anyone run their 305 without this screen in place? i don't see how it could be that beneficial to run with the screen.

thank you for taking the time to make that ignorant reply. i came here to learn, not to be ridiculed. i wish the time spent on that reply would have been used to make a useful suggestion as to how to replace the damaged screen instead. that way, i could have learned something, and possibly someone else reading the post could have learned as well.
HONDA made 30,000 plus of these engines and all had the screen.

Hoodoo: Your comment about leaving things out reminds me of the second carburetor I ever worked on. When I was about 14 my mother had an old 52 Mercury Flathead car that she had trouble starting on the cold northern Minnesota mornings, when we needed to get to town. It was always flooding for her and my dad being an over the road trucker wasn't home for weeks at a time and if the old Merc wouldn't start, food could get pretty scarce unless I walked the 4 miles to town (before they had snowmobiles). So I suggested I take the carburetor apart and clean it; after all I had already fixed the lawn mower by cleaning it out (it had what looked like a nail stuck into a piece of cork for the float and valve) anything but the walk. Snow was four foot thick and Dad being about 4 days out on a haul, she said; OK.
These flat head v8's had a 4 barrel carburetor with a weird center section for the choke and accelerator pump circuit and when I got it apart I had never seen anything so complicated. I just wanted to get it back together before the old man got home so I thru it together and had a large hand full of parts and screws left over. To my surprise it started up after a little pumping and we got to town. About a week later my Dad asked me why the Merc no longer had an automatic choke; as he was proud that it was the first car we had with one. I thought I was dead but Dad just laughed and said that Mom never could get used to using a choke. She found out the older fords would start if you pumped the accelerator a few times, without the choke, so she was over pumping the Mercury carb and flooding it. I said all that to say: you may find a few long winded older gents here and even a few grouchy ones but in between there's a lot of knowledge being passed around. Oh, and you might understand LM if you knew he was Honda mechanic for many years and has heard every question you can imagine over and over and over... and you can't yell at the customers (if you want them to stick around) so he's retired now and gets to yell at us:-) I worked a few years as a TV repairman (yes junior, they actually repaired TV's and stereos instead of throwing them away) so I know where he's coming from.
