Put a new sock filter on the end of the pickup tube and a new inline filter on it and see what happens. If you are running a Q-jet there is also a filter in the carb inlet. It picks up the really fine stuff that an inline filter won't catch. You will need to replace it too.

You will still get some sediment in the filter but that should take care of most of it.....

This is almost word-for-word for what I was going to say, except I don't do the "blow it out out with a long air nozzle, and put a couple of cans of Heat in it to absorb the moisture."

I just set it in the sun for a couple days...
