Being it is a new carb, 99% chance it is trash coming down from the tank.
Like showcrop said, there should be screens in the tank, in the sediment bowl, and usually in the fitting at the carb. Some people add an inline filter. If you do, be sure it is a screen type, not paper. Paper is too restrictive for gravity flow systems.
If the tank is flaking rust, or contaminated, take it off, rinse it out with E85 gas.
If it is severely rusted, it's days are numbered. Might consider replacing it with a new tank.
Whatever solution you choose, the fuel valve should always be turned off when not in use. In severe cases gas will overflow into the crankcase. Might check to be sure that has not happened. Diluted oil can spin bearings!
