Jlcaptian24, Had several guys say to add a inline filter .Yes that happened to my 88 Ram.The charcoal bag breaks and will get sucked into the fuel bowl.Don't ask me how,always thought that the fuel vapors went into the canister and then into the intake when started.Had to remove and clean out the carb. Replaced the canister and added a mopar fuel filter into the line to catch any charcoal. After that episode I did the same to my 79 Chrysler.
That funky brown thing at the bottom is actually a inlet filter. I remember one Tech a the Dodge dealer that would replace it during any tune up.I have never checked if that filter pad is still available.Also no replacement canister is in the aftermarket for a Mopar. I have heard of using a GM one that is.
