Is my tank rusty enough that it'll cause problems?

Hi,

Now that my carbs are clean and bench synced (tested it with gas in a small bottle), I was wondering if the small amounts of rust in the tank will refoul the carbs or if it is a negligible amount.

There is a thin intermittent strip that runs along a ridge and a spot of rust around the breather tube.

I looked around with a flashlight where the camera couldn't see and I did not see any other spots of rust, not to say there aren't any.

Guess I'll grab some rebar and washing soda this weekend then

If it's light rust, just use some vinegar to soak, then flush the tank with water/baking soda.

The electrolysis is really over kill for small spots.
