No worries

It's a good idea to install an inline fuel filter in the hose from tank to carb.

To remove any dirt from the bowl / needle: close fuel tap, open drain screw at bottom of bowl (from left side, at the bottom), open fuel tap, let run for a while. Repeat as necessary.

Carb is not so difficult to remove and dismantle, but that would only be necessary when the float needle / seat is worn.
