      Yes the filters could be clogged. There are actually two involved. The primary filter is in the tank and the other which Zama calls a strainer. The newer strainer can clog very easily due to its extra high filtration rate and you can not see this this it is clogged as you can even see through the strainer unlike the older version.

      Also due to you having to replace the primer bulb the primer base may be clogged with old fuel residue.
