1/4" inline filter?

Rummaging through my box of tricks and found a brand new 1/4" filter... is this too small to fit inline from tank to carb?

 

The OEM filter is 3/16" so you may have to really force it to fit.
The answer then would be "no".
:???:

 

Um, yeah.... ok, really wanted to know whether anyone thought it might ne too restrictive.

 

At one sixteenth inch larger than the original filters inlet/outlet, the answer would be "no, it should not be too restrictive".

 

Sorry, thought I read somewhere that the original was larger.... but, it does fit, with a little sanding of the 'ears' on the inlet/outlet and some soap, it's as snug as.....

 

Thats what I use and it works just fine!
