you can try your best to clean the carb but it will just end up getting clogged again because of the rust flakes.

it ran in the store because the carb was newly rebuilt and the demostration of it running was clearly for 'show'.

you need a new tank my man.
Well the guy didnt even clean the carb--and when i got done--There was not any rust left loose in the tank--I am sure of that, Its kinda dry-er here and the kind of rust you are used to seeing in a fuel tank --its not as likely here--no "flakes" just a little "sand" The kind that could easily be taken care of with some shot pellets and -Shake it up- like a maraca...
I think.......
