Two years of mystery misfire traced back to a fuel filter swap at a gas station

I was chatting with a guy at the Hershey swap meet in October who mentioned his 1972 Triumph had been stalling for months, and he blamed the carb like everyone else. He finally paid a shop $180 to check, and they found a tiny piece of rubber from a cheap aftermarket fuel line blocking the needle valve, not the filter itself. Has anyone else found that low-cost replacement parts cause more damage than the old crusty ones they were meant to fix?
