The tank needs to vent. Check your gas cap. You should have a sealed cap so if you decide to disconnect your canister you will need to install a vented cap. The vapor will exit through the cap instead of being sucked into the carb if you leave the canister hooked up.

Exhaust 60%
Fumes from fuel tank (raw gas) 20%
crank case 20%
The thought behind the vapor canister was to route the fumes from the fuel tank to the carburetor were they would then be burned.

Is there ever a reason to take the canister off and clean/replace anything?

Tank for your support and I have find out why its there, to take care of vapor from gas and the elaborate vale to stop the gas to go to the canister. It have also a ventilation purpose. So my solution will be to drill a small hole in the gas cap, as it have been and worked well for the fifty years before the 1970.
