The car originally sat for many years unused and the tank was a mess. I flushed it out pretty thoroughly and it is now pretty clean. I also the carburetor float valve leaks over as period of time. So I do not dispute there are probably fine rust particles to blame.
As I use the car frequently it should get better over time. I shall clean and rebuild the valve again and consider a better alternative. I am not all that impressed by the Bretton offering.
