I would flush out as much as you can from the bottom of the tank through the sediment bowl. i would not try to unscrew it, may break the tank and find it is rusted too thin to braze. I would throw on a cheap inline filter to the carb and keep a few on hand. Easier to repoke a wire into the tank and change a filter than dissasemble a carb for cleaning in a snow storm. The intake screen into the carb is not fine enough to stop particles that will clog a jet. Save the proper fixing for a nice warm sunny day.
