Carburetors clog because of moisture and exceedingly fine grit passing through the fuel filter. Check what Onan uses for microns filtration. The S series of RAcor filter is for ONE micron. I have cut open my generators RAcor element and found smoke like powder embedded in the media. It is impossible for moisture to penetrate never mind pass through one micron media.
With a pleated paper air filter no water vapor can enter your carburetor. I have one of the RAcor filters in-line with a 3/8" hose for Jesus to fill his 60 HP outboard. But the permanent installation will incorporate a Detroit diesel spin on pre-filter one quart cartridge capacity because the RAcor filter gets clogged too easily.
