Update: Rained pretty hard down here the last several days, but yesterday I was able to remove the carb again, disassemble, and soak everything. Yes, it was indeed filthy all over again. All hoses, jets, etc. cleaned out. Did the needle shim mod while I was in there again. Tomorrow will drain the gas tank, clean the petcock again, because holy crap at the garbage still coming out. It would pull gas through, but with the hose disconnected and some gas in the tank on prime I was only getting a steady trickle instead of flow. I will also install an in line fuel filter tomorrow.

Now question: do ya'll think its safe to scrub the inside of the tank to get the rest of that garbage out, and what kind of cleaner do you think would be safe to use that would flush out without adverse effects on the gas once its filled up again? Thanks guys!
