How hard is the tank to get off?
You could take it off, dump it out, put some E85 gas in it as a solvent, piece of clean chain inside and slosh it around, try to get it as clean as possible. Dump it and blow it with the air hose, but don't use the shop vac! There may be a screen standing inside on the fitting at the sediment bowl. You'll want to take that out first. The screen is probably rotted away, be a good time to replace it.
If the tank is severely rusted it will eventually need to be replaced. I have heard good and bad about the tank liners, never personally tried it.
If it's a gravity system, best to keep the factory screens in place. Inline filters don't work well as they are too restrictive. If there is a pump, it will need to be cleaned out best you can. Put the filter after the pump. There may also be a screen in the elbow at the carb.

If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
