    I use the solvent of choice along with a length of chain.  Tie a wire to the chain so it doesn’t get “lost” in the tank.  Then SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE.  or, if you get tired of shaking do what this guy did…..

    Some people use nuts and bolts instead of the chain but they can be challenging to remove.

    In the meantime I would place a fuel filter in the line from the tank to the carb.
