Sounds like fuel is not flowing into the carb fast enough.
Be sure the tank is vented or has a vented cap. If the cap says "vented", be sure it really is and is not clogged.
There should be a drain plug in the bottom of the carb. Pull the plug and see what kind of flow you get. It will start out full flow, but as the bowl empties, the flow will diminish. It should still flow a steady stream, not slow to a drip.
If it slows or stops, disconnect the line from the carb, check the flow there. If good flow, the problem is in the carb. There may be a screen in the inlet fitting of the carb, check it first.
If low flow to the carb, check further back to the tank. There may be a screen above the valve. If there is a sediment bowl, there will be a screen there too.
If there is a fuel pump, check it. If there is no pump, the inline filter is not a good idea, too restrictive for a gravity flow system.
Also, the fuel line should be steel, not copper. Be sure it is routed as far from the hot exhaust as possible.
