I read other posts about cleaning out tanks but my question still remains. What are the black chunks in my gas tank? I got half of them out but not sure how to get the rest of it out.(It isn't a built in tank) Blast it out with water? If the float or other rubber parts inside the tank are old could that be what the chunks are from? Do I need a new tank? The thing was not running well so I suspect this is why. Do I need to clean out my carb now....what else needs to be looked at?
