it's in the front part of the carb.
you'll need a 5/8" flare wrench, to turn the nut on the line, and a 1" wrench to hold the nut in the carb still. Once you disconnect the line, loosen that 1" nut that you just held still. That'll puke 1/2 cup of gas, and your filter will fall out, with a spring. Put the new filter in, keeping track of the direction of the filter, (rubber thingie in the center), and the spring, and clearish white washer.
