Don’t install additional fuel filters.

You need to rebuild the carbs with genuine Mikuni parts and needles and seats. Also replace the fuel selector and fuel lines if they are gray.

Wasn’t saying add filters just replace the existing ones with new ones

You can clean the stock strainer but the square o-rings are known to leak air. I have been just replacing the entire assembly with new OEM for $27.

Yea I ordered fuel filters for the tank and the inline one and the couple fuel lines that go to the filter

There’s no filters in the tank. Only filters are the big white strainer and the little black ones inside the carbs.
