OK, now remove the rubber hose that has the brass piece in it (I don't think that's a filter now, it looks like a hose coupler) and crank again to see what comes directly out of the pump. If you still get only a small amount of fuel disconnect the inlet hose at the pump and blow compressed air into the hose after loosening/removing the gas cap. There could be some trash/crud in the line from the tank. The other possibility (remote) is that you created an air leak in one of the rubber hoses while replacing the radiator hoses. Do you have any idea of the age/condition of the rubber fuel hoses?
