fuel issues

On a completely stock 230, shouldn't the fuel pump fill up the fuel filter before the carb. I have a clear plastic one and can see that it only puts out a minimum of fuel, sputtering very irregularly. The engine runs on this much gas but every once in a while the pause in the sputter of fuel flow is long enough for the engine to die while giving it gas. I have disconected the fuel line behind the fuel pump and blew the line back to the fuel tank. I still have the problem so I am thinking it is the fuel pump or maybe it's supposed to be but now I'm noticing this because I didn't have a clear fuel filter in the past.
