If your fuel container is clean, and your fuel tank is clean, you may never have problem with just the little round filters. My ride on mower didn't come with a filter from the fractory. I added one after I had carb problems. It made it about five years with no problems before I installed the filter. My mower dosen't have a fuel pump. It's gravity feed system.

umm..... no
Only on injection systems is fuel pumped through "jets".
