Grandpa's H Has Spark Now, but Tank is Full of Crud

Posted by dstates on June 09, 2012 at 20:24:00 from (173.27.246.62):

Well, I went ahead and replaced the plug wires, distrubutor cap, rotor, points and condensor and now I have spark!!!!

So then I turned the fuel back on and got nothing at the carb. A little investigating found that the inlet of the sediment bowl was clogged. The tank has a layer of crud at the bottom and it just drains right into the bowl. Some pieces of rust look to be the size of a nickel.

So I think I've got 3 options:

1. Remove the tank and have it cleaned and sealed before I go any further.

2. Do #1 and rig up a small temporary tank so I can still get it started.

3. Add a "snorkel" to the sediment bowl inlet so I draws gas from above the layer of crud until I'm ready to tackle the tank.

If I can come up with an easy way to do #3 I'll probably go that way, but #2 is probably the best answer.

Any thoughts???
