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.

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 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.

It appears these do not. Just to remove the mounting bracket
one would have to bend it out of shape quite drastically. I looked
closely at the brass caps top and bottom and it does appear that
they may be able to be pryed off. But in any case the instructions
say the filters are not servicable and there are no spares or
instructions for servicing provided.

You got the same ones as we have,Doug. Yes, you have to bend the
mounting bracket drastically. Pry off the end caps and the clam shell
protection comes apart, exposing the pump. Remove three(?) screws on
the bottom plate to expose the filter.
