with the noxious contents of the gas tank in a Roadster that
has been sitting for years has been a common topic in this
forum; I now have that issue with the <i>other</i>
non-running vintage Japanese vehicle in my garage, my 1972
Yamaha LS-2, which I have rolled out and am going to get
running for the first time since ≈1981. I don’t plan on riding
this little 100cc two-stroke twin very often, or very far, but
it was my first street-legal motorized transportation (a
16th-birthday present), and I think it deserves to see the
light of day again. And maybe getting the Yamaha running will
finally inspire me to finish cleaning out the garage so that I
can get the 1970 2000 Roadster back on the street.<br clear="none">

<div dir="ltr" id="yiv4945448408yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1473869296861_46910">Anyway,
there is a small amount of liquid in the bike’s two-gallon gas
tank; pretty smelly stuff, too. What have any of you done when
it comes to cleaning out and de-sludging a gas tank? Is there
a particular solvent or cleaner that works well to remove the
remnants of decades-old gasoline? I haven’t looked into the
carburetors yet, but I am assuming that I will have to clean
them up internally, also. The petcock has been closed all
these years, but there was certainly some amount of gasoline
in the float bowls of the little twin Mikunis.</div>
