Dirty fuel line/wont start

Hello, looking for some advice on what to do about my weed eater that wont start. I have a Poulan P1500 25cc. I have had it for 2 years with no trouble but recently it will not start. I discovered that the fuel filter in the tank had come off at some point with out me knowing. Not sure how long i was using it in that state before it stopped working. 2 questions:

1- What does running an engine like this without the fuel filter do to the engine?
2- What are recommendations for repair?

Thanks

No need to replace the carb, just fit new filter and clean the carb.
