So, 45 years ago on a 200 mile trip in Florida I started losing one cylinder, then the other. On the side of the road i ended up disassembling more stuff than I’d like to, cleaned out a bunch of sand, and rode for a bit. A while later, I had to repeat the process. The next day I went to my bud’s bike shop and told him my tale of woe. He sold me a pair of fuel filters. I installed them, and have never been stranded since. I’ve had to change filters on the side of the road, but I was never stranded. Used inline fuel filters on the dozens of bikes I’ve owned for gazillions of miles. Always laugh when the armchair engineers tell me that the filters restrict flow, aren’t needed, will cause cavities, and so on.
