150 Micron filter, designed for systems without a fuel pump ( I have a gravity feed system), Briggs and Stratton part number 298090S, 5 quid or so online.

Solved all my problems!
P.S. Don't use filters that are designed to be used with a fuel pump, on gravity systems because they cause fuel starvation...…..
