Only time gas messes up a filter (be it paper or wire mesh) is when it gets old and gummy....
You can backflush it (and or blow through it the opposite way with compressed air) but filters are sooooo cheap... its not worth the effort. I'd also go ahead and replace the gas line while your there..... this is also cheap and insures no leaks in the near future.
Oh yes.... if its a in tank filter (made right into the tank, right at the outlet..., you can either backflush it and rinse the tank out, or punch through it and install a in-line fuel filter.... if you havn't already.

you replace it, there not that expensive and your mower and carberator will last longer. Do not even waste your time cleaning it. your air filter is also important to and must be replaced or cleaned.
When gas sits it can also destroy the filter

I was thinking carbo, air filter, or spark plug. Check the plug first. If its sputtering then it may not be firing. Then check oil and air filter. Good luck..........wait.......did you say you sucked the fuel line? My kinda girl! Lol!
