First, try tapping on the float bowls. If that works, get the carbs cleaned.
If that doesn't work, get the carbs cleaned,

Also, put an inline filter on. The crud clogging the carb came from the tank.

hahaha, and 3rd, just get the carbs cleaned as you clean the tank and lines. Yes, good idea on the inline filter placement.
