MG MGB Technical - fuel tank rust

I bought a 74 B that had been sitting. The PO installed a new SU fuel pump from. Before I started driving it, I put a new transparent fuel filter before the carbs in factory location. This filled up with rust very quickly. I put in a new gas tank however now the car sputters a little as though it is starved of fuel. I am wondering if the fuel pump may have rust particles in it. Is there a filtering screen on the intake for a 74? I looked on the moss diagram but didn’t see it. I saw another BBS that said that MGA fuel pumps have filters, but MGB pumps dont?
Thanks, -J

MGB pumps do have filters. The pump should deliver *at least* one Imperial pint per minute at the carbs with negligible bubbles.
