Unless you can see trash or water in the bowl, chances are that is not the problem.
There is a screen above the bowl, it may be clogged, but unless there is visible trash in the bowl, not likely. If there is water in the bowl, the tank is severely contaminated and will need to be drained and cleaned, best taken off and dumped and rinsed with E85.
There is probably a stand pipe inside the tank, it may have a screen. Chances are it will be clogged. It is the first line of defense, and commonly overlooked. It can be serviced without taking the bowl loose, just screw the entire assembly out of the tank. But be careful, if the tank is rusted thin, it may start the tank leaking or twist the fitting out of the tank.
But before taking any of that apart (unless obviously loaded with trash), take the fuel line off the carburetor, see what kind of flow you get. If the line is good, no kinks, or any added inline filters, and you get a good, full flow, the problem is in the carb, not the tank or sediment trap.
There may be a screen in the inlet fitting of the carb, or the needle/seat is clogged or stuck. Could need a simple cleaning. Usually the bowl will come off without damaging the gasket if careful.

Jon's Allis has a small front loader and though it doesn't carry much, it serves his needs. It was the hard starting and low power that made him think it was time to replace the old girl. Jon called me to help him discover why his tractor wouldn't start
