If you have the original ceramic filter element just because it looks clean and you can blow air thru does not mean it is clean. If the glass bowl has gone thru periods of sitting where fuel has evaporated and the bowl emptied and was refilled at the next start varnish could have clogged the element pores. While still clear enough for air, the fuel can be restricted to the point there is not enough flow during high use needs and the carb starves. Probably not the issue if the problem is only at low speed and there is no hesitation during higher engine rpm but something to keep in mind.
