Well, I pulled my filter because I have everything else ripped off and figured why not check it out. I am glad I did... It was black!!! There were actual chunks of crap attached and around the filter and pump. To be honest, pulling the pump and filter isn't really that bad. Cleaning the filter is. I am starting off cleaning it with wd40 since it is the only thing I have on hand and it seems to be doing the job quite well. I will be letting it sit over night and check on it tomorrow. I only have 10,000 miles and can not believe the filter was that clogged. I was attributing the jumpiness at low idle to the flies being out or the throttle cables being loose. I can't wait until next week when I get her all back together and see how she acts with a clean fuel filter!!!
