That says you're getting water in your fuel. Common problem with paper ... it
swells when it gets wet. When it swells enough, the pores close up and it will
no longer pass fuel. That's why you're supposed to change them every year or
so.
But carbureted engines aren't much bothered by water in the fuel. It might
stumble a bit when the water is sucked through, but then it's gone. Hence using
another type of filter solves the problem nicely.
