I called the guy at Carter that handles all the rebuild kits and he told me that they make them but you have to buy a kit for :'($65.00. I couldn't find anyone on the net that had them. He suggested I buy some screen and try and sotter my own together. Is there anyone out there that knows of where to get the screen from? or if anyone makes these. I'm going to leaf through hemmings here after I fix a tire leak in my Buick.
I have a Carter WCFB 2255s, if anyone can help me find strainers for it I would be very thankfull. Thanks.

This company assembles nearly all the carburetor kits sold by other suppliers. They have the largest archive of original carburetor blueprints from the original manufacturers in the world. They make kits for virtually every automotive carb made from 1900 to 1980.
They also do top quality rebuilding of carburetors for those who don't wish to do it themselves. Check them out. You'll be impressed.
Ask for Ron Hewitt or Tim Hewitt.
If they don't have the stuff you need they can probably point you in the right direction.

Shop around through Hemmings and on the web. Find out what is included in the rebuild kit. I just finished mine today. I purchased mine from Kanter but I know the website that they order theirs from that they send to you. I actually didn't realize till I took the carb apart that I needed screens or strainers. Somone had taken them out and put a bowl fuel line filter on so I am going to just forget about the strainers. Although some guy in Eldon Missouri makes them but only sells them in a kit, Not individually. So my best advice would be, take it apart and see what's there before you buy a kit like I did. Honestly though after looking at my carb with the new parts my rebuild kit was fine. There were more than one Carb rebuilder that told me those strainers are worthless with a line fuel filter.

Try The Carburetor Shop In Missouri. I have purchased excellent rebuild kits for my AFB from them. He should have the proper screen for your Carter. http://www.thecarburetorshop.com/

Thats the guy who makes them but won't sell them outside of his rebuild kit. I have a line filter. I'm just going to go with that and forget about the strainers. That guy can keep them. I was willing to pay way more than their worth but not buy a whole new rebuild kit. So he gets nothing instead.
