Inline filter or not?

Have stripped and cleaned the carbs and noticed a bit of dirt at the bottom of each of the bowls.
The bottom of my petcock screen filter was a bit jagged where it's stuck in the tank and been pulled through with a pliers and I'm wondering if muck is getting past that. The mesh screen is undamaged.
I've ordered a new screen filter though I'll be fitting it on a new cbr600 petcock that I've bought to do away with the vacuum line.
I've had one previously and I don't find it a chore to keep turning the petcock off.
What do you think about including an inline filter as well
I haven't done a "search" but I seem to remember that they're not recommended.

The inline filters seem to be a common cause of fuel starvation when added. A new OE in the tank filter could be sufficient.

as Chris stated.
so don't use an additional filter, esp., since this is a gravity feed fuel system. The largest gravity fed fuel filter I've found is for a Kohler 50hp engine, the filter is very large and two would be needed our engines and they are not cheap. Honda engineers know what they are doing.
