My GQ Shorty is running extremely rough and over the years i have used dirty fuel and all sorts.
yep, I have treated her bad over the years...lol
I want to flush the tank out, pull it out and wash the hell out of it.
I can do that no probs but how would you flush the lines out?
i'm sure there's plenty of muck built up and want to make sure I do it properly.

I use a product called Tolulean. its good for carby cleaning as well but it will knock the rubber fuel lines around so if you use it replace your rubber lines or take them off first.
I ordered it though my paint supplier

Also after you flush everything out it would be a very good idea to fit a fuel filter up close to the carby to catch any crap that you have loosened up before it gets into your needle & seat.
Just a thought

I use an air compressor on the lines making sure its all pulled apart first, works good.
