Dave,
Just a thought. Do you have a pre filter? By that I mean a filter between the tank and the pump. I am assuming by the way you speak of the clear filter is is one of those glass filters that most people put between the pump and the carb.

Now if you blew out the line with your your air compresser it would surely clear the line. Say your line pressure on the hose was 60psi or better. If you blew the line and it was stopped up with tresh from the tank, you have now blown the trash back into the tank.

I have seen those glass type filters look like they were empty when the car is running but yet it continues to run. I know that does not explain your pressure loss. But if you blew the trash out of the line and back into the tank the pressure would be good to begin with untile the trash got back into the line. That would surely cause a new starvation problem.

I don't know man, I am really just thinking outloud. I can't figure it out. I will email this page to DV and see if he has any new ideas.
