Nasty Gas tank = Unhappy Bike
So in the process of getting my bike up and running the way I want it going, I decided to clean out the gas tank. I took my bike for a test ride down to my parents place in Faber, Va. I was noticing some hesitation and it seemed to be loosing power sometimes. Well, take a look at what I found when i cleaned out the gas tank!
This rust sludge was actually in the tank.
Luckly my fuel system has a filter in line before the gas goes into the carbs, because I am sure this would have done some serious damage!
Before pouring the top 4/5ths of the gas back into the tank, we ran it through an old shirt to get more of the rust out. I need to figure out a coating I can put on the inside of the tank.
