Old Petrol and engine problem

The more I think the more it looks like a new tank.
We don’t know what the gunk is in the Tank so cannot determine a solvent to clear it.
It would need a ‘scope put inside to ensure it’s clear before I would risk starting it again.

Frost do an internal tank strip fluid Ronk for £13, might be worth a shot before going new tank route.

Clean the valve and reassemble the engine then try with a small plastic bottle / lawn mover type tank fed direct to the carbs with new fuel - if it runs fine then spend some money on new fuel lines; filter and a new tank!

I think that’s the only way - do it properly but do it once!
It has to be something lurking in the tank - I still suspect sabotage at sometime. Until it is determined exactly what it is there will always be a nook or cranny with some remaining.

I suppose the gunk in the tank will just have remain a mystery?

Your advice removed the pump from the equation, which was a better route to take
