So the fpr is behind the "pipe plug" looking thing on the side of the fuel bowl? So should I take that plug out and inspect it, or just get a new one and put it in?

You can just remove the FPR if you wish ...

Would it be a good idea to pull the whole fuel bowl to mess with the fpr? If I pull the bowl, is there gaskets/o-rings that I'll need to have, or replace? Any thoughts? Looks like pulling the bowl would make replacing the ipr a lot easier.

Ok, so I went ahead and pulled the bowl. I won't know for sure until I clean it, and put it all back together but, I don't see how anything could get past that little screen, there is about a 1/8" thick layer of crap on it! So I'm gonna go tear it all apart and check out the inside of the fpr also. I'll probably change out the ipr before I put the bowl back in, I bought one last fall but never got around to changing it out. Can I get the couple o-rings for it at my local parts store? I'll let you guys know how it turns out.

This is a link to the kind of orings you need to use. I don't think you'll find them at the parts store.

You guys are the best! I pulled my fuel bowl, cleaned the fpr, which was unbelievably plugged with crap, changed
ipr, I Just got back from the test drive and Ol' Smokey runs better than it has in years! No cel, no missing, it even idles smooth now, no loping! This thing has had that damn 1211 code now for 2 years, can't believe it didn't come on pulling out of my driveway when it hit second! Thanks again fellas!
