Vintage Dirt Bike Q & A

What's the best way to remove rust from gas tank?
Also what's the proper sixe carb for a 74 mt250?

I always used course gravel. Remove all gas, rinse it with water and put a quart or two of gravel in it. Shake it as hard as you can for maybe 1/2 hour. Empty it out, rinse it for several minutes, air dry it and put gas in the same day.
Be forwarned: Your tank may begin to leak now. This is due to the rust eating almost all the way through already.

thanks. rust isnt too bad allready took outside to metal no cancer eating through the outside

1 part molasses 5 parts water - mix it - fill tank and let sit for 2 weeks - clean up - i then use qwik poly that i got from the xs650 society - works a treat and you can save and reuse you mixture for latter - this is also listed on thevincent.com site - just finished same on a cl350 tank - oh and you can lick you fingers during the mixing if you want - sweet
