In-line fuel filter for generator

Been having some starting issue with my Kohler 5E.  I noticed the in-line fuel filter didn't show a lot of gas.  It's a plastic cup with a paper insert.  I removed the cup and attempted to remove the paper insert but I can't get it to budge.  

Is there a trick to replacing the paper cartridge in these little guys or do I just need to get a new filter housing and call it done?

    If it is the raycor filter with the removable bowl, the filter element should just pull out. The o-ring can get sticky. 

    That filter may not be totally full of fuel to work. 

    Remember there is another filter at the fuel pump inlet too. I got rid of that one, pain to get at on my 342.

    This has a removable cup/bowl.  I didn't want to damage the paper filter.  Guess I need to get the model info it might have on it and track it down or switch to a fixed style.
