Here is a link for the dirty leg

Club members use the small magnet from Harbor Freight in the glass bowl to catch small rust particles.
I installed a PENCIL FILTER on top of my gas shut off, it's about a 2" filter screen that goes into the tank and keeps the "hole" from plugging. Parts suppliers have them. Must drain tank to install. The PF solved my gas flow woe. Good luck

Thanks for the info. All is good now as far as the Gas. I do have the pencil screen, it is one of the 3 that were plugging up. Got the gas tank/gas can/gas all cleaned out. Changed the pencil screen since mine was not "fresh" looking, and converted from Sediment bowl screen to paper micro filter in the sediment bowl. The key was there was something in my gas can, still do not know what it was. Another person locally suggested maybe a spider web. Stuff floated around, the dirty leg most likely would not havee captured it since the dirty leg appears to use gravity to capture junk in the tank.
 
I didn’t know the parts suppliers had that filter when I was having trouble with my car. So
I was in the paint store and saw a filter for an airless sprayer and bought it. It is threaded on the bottom and about 3 1/2 inches long. I threaded the shut off valve for it and put it in.
No more problem. I clean it once a year after the winter sit.
