Well, my engine pump has been drawing fuel through a
Wabro for over a year now with no I'll effects.

The plastic shell is capped at both ends. Pry off the caps and the
shell falls apart, exposing the pump inside.
I am presently trying to contact Walbro about the fuel pass thru
question. The info I have to date from the mfg. is the following:
Model 6802, continuous duty (10k+ hrs) electronic fuel pump, 420
micron mesh filter, magnetic filter, 7psi, 40gph. Everyone I have
spoken to to date states that the engine pump should be able to suck
fuel through a non operational Walbro, but I have not received an
answer yet from a specific engineering source.

Both my WALBRO pumps came with no replacement filters. A
large box in bold print in the instructions states the following:

" SERVICE DATA
The Walbro Marine Electronic Pump incorporates
two (2) built-in filters, one for filtering fine particles
and the other (a magnet) for trapping metalic
particles. Due to the construction of the protective
outer shell, these filters cannot be serviced."

The plastic outer shell appears to be glued together.
Perhaps this is a newer or different model than the
one you have.

The internal filter on the Walbro can be cleaned. In fact, they supply
a spare with the pump. Taking the pump apart is a little fussy in an
emergency situation. I am a little concerned to find out that a pump
failure may result in a blocked fuel supply due to the wobble plate.
Right now, I have the Walbro in line with my mechanical pump.

I seem to recall from the WALBRO docs that the pump is not
field servicable. Specifically, it states that the internal filters
cannot be changed.

Unless you have isolation valves to allow servicing of a parallel
pump,
series works just as well for backup.
fuel wil flow through the unpowered pump.

That begs the question why are you going to put two pumps in

you only want to run one at a time?
