Well actually the fuel distributors do have screens (9) and they can be cleaned. The first one is located inside the fuel inlet fitting screwed into the fuel distributor body. Remove it, use solvent and reverse air pressure to clean it out. There is one each on the fuel discharge ports (8 in total) and use use the same proceedure to clean them. Flushing the gunk out if the body is a bit more difficult. I use brake parts cleaner and air pressure to flow every which way through the body to flush any particles out. I have cured 5 out of 6 fuel distributors this way. The one that did not get cured had holes in the diaphram.
