Getting a 78 Honda scooter going. Running on a baby bottle great. Fuel tank has 1/8” coating of old gas varnish in it.
Suggestions? Old redneck tricks that work? Filled it up with MEK and is very slow going....
 
i used a kit like this when i rebuilt a 82 nighthawk. https://por15.com/products/motorcycle-fuel-tank-repair-kit

if i did it again i would of set up some type of rotisserie for it to auto spin it when cleaning/sealing. if the inside of the tank is bad, when cleaning add some nuts/bolts in there to help break off the big chunks of crap loose.
