Unhappy paint in fuel system

so got tank painted with 2 pack paint and the painter didnt stop paint from going in tank inlet so petrol has pulled paint off and into the system and now runs lumpy and sometimes wont run at all.

were will it get stuck?
could it get into my carbs?
does neutral have a different jet to first as it would run in neutral and when i put in first conk out waited 5 mins and ran lumpy again.
will red-ex clear it or some sort of pour in fuel treatment?
will petrol dissolve it small enough to un clog itself?


sorry for so many questions i am really annoyed and i so wish i could fire bomb the painter as only had one night and one day of riding before the problem started. going to take to mechanics tomorrow and see what he says but i think compressed air sprayed through the whole fuel system sounds like the answer. what do you guys think?

Most likely by turning the bike on the paint got inside the carbs but I don't see why the had wouldn't desolve that stuff idk. I would have emptied the tank and threw a tank cleaner in there. Or covered it up before the painter sprayed it. He's just a painter not a mechanic
