most carter carbs do not have a filter per se. they either have a screen behind the inlet fitting or they have a small screen on each needle seat.

Ayuh,.... The important "trick" is to use 2 wrenches,.....

One to hold the carb's fitting, 'n one to turn the line's nut, preferably a line wrench,....
