Do yourself a favor and on last run of the trip, run the carburetor dry.
I do it with all seasonal equipment and even 20+ years Honda in my rarely used pressure washer has no carburetor problem.
Than air filters are hard to judge, so in case of doubt- replace it.
One time I bought Honda lawnmower very cheap because it would be very hard to start (several Hondas I do/did own start on 1 or 2nd pull).
I took the lawnmower home and start fooling with it. The air filter look perfectly clean, but when I removed it, the engine start and run with no problem.
Don't know what PO used, but the filter was clog with something not visible to eye. He might use WD40 as starting fluid ,or something in this line.
