I'd also warn against rusted tanks....this a common "incentive" for selling bikes nowadays.
May help, may not....but a powerful flashlight should be brought when checking any "hasn't been run in awhile" bike. Or ANY bike, for that matter. Inspecting both inside and outside lower sections looking for peeling paint (a telltale for long term fuel leakage) or even active, leaking pinholes.
The bike can otherwise look ok, but a rustbucket tank can add a large expense, avoid or at least be aware of what you are purchasing.
IF a rusted tank is present, then fair to say the entire fuel system has been affected and WILL require attention, from tank right down to intake valves, including carbs or FI components, pumps, filters...the whole shebang.
