Pretty sure the problem was a severely clogged petcock. I cleaned it and the tank, but apparently the tank not good enough. There's just so much rust and gunk in it. I have a tank cleaner/sealer kit ordered. Hopefully that will fix it.
Meanwhile, I've just gotten a new rear rotor and caliper. I think a previous owner was stopping it/trying to stop it with no brake pads in the rear caliper. It had no brake pads, the caliper was locked up, and the rotor was hopelessly gouged.
I'm still working on fixing the body panels using fiberglass resin.My Bikes/Current: 1989 Suzuki Katana 750, 1980 Honda CB900C, 1973 Suzuki TS100, 2007 Yamaha Vino. Former: 1981 Honda CB650, 1982 Yamaha XJ550 Maxim, 2001 Yamaha V-Star, 1980 Yamaha 400, 19?? Suzuki Madura, 1974 Triumph T140E.Comment

Making progress video
I'm still working on it. Take a listen and see what you think now. FYI: That frying sound you hear at the beginning of the video is rain (so inconsiderate of other people's schedules)

Thanks!
