[DML] Plugged canister

[kevin creason <kcreason77@xxxxxxxxx>]

Some time ago someone mentioned replacing the little
filter in the bottom of the charcoal canister.
I finally did that this weekend, and wish I had done
it earlier.
The filter was completely filled and packed with dirt.
The drain tube was also plugged with "stuff"-- not
just dirt but with something else that was starting to
look like old, rotting cardboard.
I recommend pulling it out and cleaning it. Don't blow
too much air into the inlets though, that little bowl
on top will blow its lid off with some force. 

I do have a question about the canister: mine is a
Rochester part (made in US). Is this OEM or
aftermarket? I have a fourth hose nipple labeled carb
bowl which was unplugged so I remedied that some time ago.
