    I ran seafoam in my gas on friday. I put about 100 miles on the bike since then and it ran fine. last night coming home from my brothers it started to bog and stall out while riding. It would start to bog and i would crank on the throttle and and it would eventually all of a sudden grab and take off but then would bog right out and stall again again. It would then start again about 10 min later and do it all over again. My theory is the seafoam cleaned all the gunk in my gas tank and is sendin it thru the carbs now that the tank is almost empty. I took off the tank and drained the gas and the inside of the tank has a light spotted rust look to it. What is the best way to clean the inside of the tank out?

    you can etch it with muriatic acid or there is electrolysis with baking soda and some MacGuyver work

    as for the stalling out, you will need to drain the bowls out and install a fuel filter.
