So working on my WD today. Drained the gas tank. Took the sediment bowl assembly off and opened it. The sediment bowl had some fine grained sand looking stuff in it, but not a whole lot. The bottom of the tank seemed fine, nothing out of the ordinary, and she drained strongly (though it took forever since I drained it from the tap near the carb). However, I did discover a tear in the mesh in the sediment bowl (previous owner may have reinstalled incorrectly or something, I suppose). Which may explain why I had all sorts of sand looking particles inside the carb when I opened it up.
Already getting new mesh for the sediment bowl. But it looks like I am back to needing to boil out the carb (need some good weather so I can do it outside -- no way I'm doing that in the house). Since it definitely got some nasty crap sucked into it, and I am assuming that may be a good deal of my problem. I also want to make sure the float is in good shape.
The only other thing I noticed is that my Nelson muffler has rusted through on her. Would this create any backpressure problems or other running issues? I assume not, other than maybe some excess noise?
Any thoughts of things for me to check? I'm almost positive I've got carb issues now, after seeing the sand in the sediment bowl with the torn mesh screen and the sandy dirt in the bottom of the carb body.

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
