ok, yeah the strainer is out and I cleaned it up but even with it out there is still gas that won't come out.......it might be thick sludge or something but when I shake the tank I can hear gas still in there....it comes out like little drips at a time if I shake the tank. I think I am going to order that por15 tank cleaner because I don't see any used tanks on ebay.

 

one thing i have heard of people doing is dropping a marble or 2 in there and swishing the tank cleaner around with the marbles to help break the gunk up. do you have the valve completely off when u try to poor out the remaining gas?

 

yes, I have the assembly completely out but the brown gas just barely drips out. I can stick a screw driver in the drain tube but it still barely comes out

 

spray some carb cleaner up in there see if that helps. also can try paint thinner just dont get it on the outside of the tank. or again the seafoam method i mentioned, seafoam could eat anything i swear lol

 

so you think I should try the sea foam instead of the por15 stuff or kreem?

 

use your preference mine is seafoam. i know it works well.

ok, I got the bike started but it would only stay running with the choke on and then eventually died. It was also spilling fuel from a line tha sits above the carb float bowls. THere are two lines there but only one was spilling fuel, they are not connected to anything so I assume they are over flow lines. I then pulled the carbs and took off the float bowls and cleaned out all the gunk......I wasn't quit sure what to do after that. I sprayed what I assumed were the jets with carb cleaner and then dryed everything with the compressor. I reassembled and tried to turn it on.......same thing......fuel was dumping out of the line and the bike would sputter if I tried to apply any throttle. I could also get the bike on with the choke off and giving it throttle.....the bike would turn on and rev up to 5-6 thousand and then if I tried to keep it revved up or apply more throttle is would sputter and shut off. Any suggestions? Maybe I should take apart the jets and clean more thoruoghly? What else can I do? Please help.I am happy she turned on at least

 

id start by cleaning the jets they are probably packed full of goo.

see if that helps.

 

how can I do this?
