I agree....throw that inline fuel filter away, since they were made for fuel systems that use a fuel pump, and put a new sediment bowl on the tank outlet. Inline filters may be too much flow restriction on a gravity-feed fuel system; while it may not take too much of a pump to overcome an inline filter, you're pretty much stuck with the amount of fuel-flow-inducing gravity you have now.
Then check for a bad gasket, probably between the carb and the manifold, that's allowing the engine to suck too much air for the amount of fuel you're getting. If the manifold and manifold gasket were both good before you had the carb off, odds are they're still OK. But check the simple stuff OUTSIDE of the carb before getting back inside it.
If you have to choke it to make it run, that's an instant sign--yup, here's yer sign--that you're getting more air than needed--or less fuel than needed--in an un-choked mode. Logic says it's either an air leak or a fuel restriction.
