Cleaning the filter screen?

I am going to clean the filter screen, anyone have any tips on what and what not to do? After looking at the regulater it appears kinda small and tedious as in breakable, along with sticking a q tip in there to clean . Is this a simple job or can it be difficult? By the way I have 2 PSD's one has 90,000 miles and the othere has 50,000 miles , I bet these filters have never been clean. The 50,000 miler idles like crap its always low and sometimes surges, do you think it could be a dirty screen?

You can clean it from inside filter housing. Just remove the filter and swap a q-tip in the hole. No reason to worry. I've pulled it apart also but ya can clean it just as good without the trouble with a q-tip.

There are differances between the 95 and 97 fpr and screen. The 95 appears to have a filter bowl about 1 1/2 inchs long, I have not yet taken it out but its diffently a filter bowl, the 97 fpr has no bowl and there is an electric sensor on thr side of it, wierd from what Ive read they are supposed to be all the same........
