You know, I had a similar problem, years ago, that ended up being  
water in the fuel.  A bottle of "gas line drier" (alcohol) let the  
water absorb into the gasoline, and no problem.  I suppose with the  
blends you get at the pump these days, adding alcohol would be  
redundant... but you never know.

But yeah, sediment at the bottom of the carb would keep gasoline out  
of the motor (just like water would do) but would be harder to clean  
out.
