fuel system

not really an urgent question or anything just curious if any of you have cleaned your fuel system and if so what have you used? i just dropped my tank the other day and am now wondering if dropping it and cleaning it and all and filling it up with fresh gas will help clean the fuel system a little by running new clean gas everywhere? is it even necessary to clean the fuel system? excluding carbs, and intake, mine have less than 2k on them, i just mean lines and all, also does anyone have any opinion on berrymans carb and choke cleaner? bought some just to spray my carb out to make sure its clean, any thought on any of these things?
Thanks guys.

Re: fuel system

if you get dirt out it's gotta help
i found rusty fluid/gas stuck there between the pump and the carb
removed the line and just drained it out

Re: fuel system

Throw some SeaFoam in there while you're at it. Fresh gas alone will not dissolve varnish deposits.
