rusty gas engine dying

Guys, I need your advice. A neighbor has a International 140 that he trying to get up and running for his organic farm. The tractor will run only briefly before conking out. He has cleaned the rust out of the sediment bowl and that has allowed the tractor to run briefly, then die. The process has to continue again. He has not taken apart the carb. I don't know if the the gas line has been cleaned out. He is thinking that replacing the tank is the only way to go, but too much money etc. My question is does this tractor have a second fuel strainer in it that may also be clogged? I have a 53' ford that has an elbow strainer into the carb in addition to the strainer in the sediment bowl. Any other suggestions that I could pass along to him? Thanks ahead of time for your help!!
