The gas tank is probably ready to be cleaned and painted with por15.
You can only see near the filler hole. Por15 does a nice job.
And change the tank filter screen too.
Good winter job.
Those carbs are terrible to work with.

Glad to hear it's running good Greg. Looks like we have similar taste, I have the exact same car except the WRX. I'm just waiting for the rain/snow to end so I can finish mine.

Ho Greg
Looking good, best place to store the bike...
I wish my wife felt the same way on that matter...
I have a separate shop from the house with a wood stove which works pretty good as well...
Years ago my parents had a pit in the garage that also had an entrance to the basement and I'd lower my bikes into the basement which was great for doing overhauls on the 2 stroke mx race bikes and work on the road bikes, etc...

Hi Greg, Just got back from my last ride of the yr. Pretty cold...
Fun anyways, the 2 strokes sure like the cold air...
Took it pretty easy, don't want to push it very hard with that lean cold air...
Oh, CAM, when did you send that? Is this for reel to reel stuff?
