Little bit of rubbish on the tank side of the filter (need new filter now I have cut it open.)

Tried blowing past the ball bearing from both sides but to no avail. Definatelt lack of air. Get a good old hiss when I open the cap. I suppose drilling out the ball bearing is not acceptable on a race bike.

Drilled mine out, so do not see why you cant.
