Mmmmm well it was sat for years with a tiny amount of fuel in the tank which turned out to be more like a gel when I removed it! Had to soak it in hot soapy water before rinsing/drying it out so get it all out!
I have run new fuel through it a couple of times and it doesnt look too bad inside the engine so hopefully it will be ok!
