I thought I'd give you all a quick update. The mechanic who got our original engine running declined to install it in the woodie, so we had to shop around to find someone willing to do it. It was installed last Wednesday. Yesterday, my Dad and I went down to the garage to install the radiator and drive it home. Except we couldn't get it to fire again. After a half hour of all three of us fiddling with this and that we decided just to tow it home and try another day. As my Dad towed it I tried letting the clutch out in third gear to start it. Oh it would start just fine, but would not stay running for more than a few seconds. The tow to my Dad's is about 10 miles. I kept popping the clutch and starting it, trying to keep it running by feathering the throttle. Finally got it to run for the last 100 yards. Drove very roughly. Stalled just as I pulled into the driveway. Wouldn't restart. We had a fun few hours pushing it into the barn. As we were deciding the next course of action, I noticed the fuel bowl didn't look quite right. I guess we'll need to clean the tank. We did drain the old gas, but looks like there might be a little sludge in the bottom...

Any suggestions on gas tank cleaning?
