Default carburetor Q...

Here is a picture of a carb air horn 'wire filter' that I made up. I stopped after install, before making second one, wondering if this screen will restrict air flow to where I will have to retune carb mixtures. Not sure that that would be the case, so asking you guys for opinions.

While it is true that window screen restricts sunlight by 40%, I'm not so sure that translates to air flow to the extent of carb mixtures. You're only talking about idle mixture anyway, no big deal. Just my opinion, for what it's worth.
