The fuel filter is normally in the fuel line between the fuel pump & carburetor. Sometimes people will put them in line between the frame rail & front of the engine or between the fuel tank & frame rail. The problem sounds more like a carb adjustment issue.

Yea I was thinking the same thing but I wanted to cover all bases just in case it was something simple like a clogged filter. But I will take a look at the fuel mixture.

Also check the choke circuit. If it starts right up when cold but stalls when warm and running rich, the choke wire could be disconnected/broken/hooked up wrong, or the choke oout of adjustment.

Hi sounds like you need to remove the idle jet that is on the side of the carb { the same side the choke element is on} and take air and blow out the jet. you will notice when you remove it from the carb that the tip will be stopped up causing all your problems.
