so now I'm waiting for a new fuel filter before I try starting it again..
does anyone know if they put something in the tanks for shipping or something that is supposed to mix with the gas for break in???

While it doesn't happen all the time I think it's common to have some remnants of manufacturing in the tank. Sounds like that's what you're hitting here.
A good line and carb clean out is probably in order. Since you drained the tank hopefully you got all the crud out.
You're right on board with what you should be doing with new filter etc.
