Sure could. The first time it did this, I didn't know where to start. The filter was fairly new, maybe a week or two old. I took the carb off and btw, had been recently rebuilt too. Took it apart to find the tiny bits laying in the bottom of the bowl. Cleaned it out put it back on but this didn't fix it. Had to clean out the filter too. After this happening twice, I trashed it. It may have been OK with better hoses, but I didn't like the way it plugged up the filter with these tiny, tiny, bits of rubber. I figured it would do the same thing with tiny bits of dirt too. It was filtering the dirt, but not letting any fuel through.
