Surprisingly no, the guy I got the bike from said the bike sat for about a year but to my relief the tank is clean. I did pull the petcock to clean it and the damn thing was clogged with the crap you can put in a leaking tank, cleaned that, drained and rinsed out the tank with some left over 87 octane, got a new fuel filter, then cleaned the carbs. Now the gas is as clear as can be and she's running 10 times better

not sure if you know or not sprock, but for the air/fuel mixture on the bottom of the carbs, are they capped or does it just require a special tool? I know the air/fuel mixture screws on a lot carbs are just capped from the factory, just drill 'em out and you're good to go, but on mine they look like no caps have been removed but instead may need a special tool. Wasn't sure so I figured I'd ask before drilling into something hoping for the best haha
