You really need to have a filter somewhere in the fuel system, to prevent any crap from getting in to the carb. It is far easier to clean/replace a filter then to have to rebuild the entire carb to get out a piece of debris that may be clogging something.

Also if the find that everything is cleaned out and you still not getting good fuel flow, then the fuel pump may need to be rebuilt as the old diaphrams in the pump can break or leak. A new rebuild kit will have new diagrams and rubber parts that are compatiable with todays fuels.
