So id check that first it’s easy and free .

I’d also put a good inline fuel filter before the carb, even if I used rubber lines to run it that way for a while until I was sure it was nice and clean fuel.
Thanks. I decided to replace the tank. May have been unnecessary but that's the path I took. The gas I siphoned out was definitely stale - dark and stinky.
