that looks like you may have some rust in the tank to me.....
I had to use Kreem tank sealant on mine when I first got it as both carbs were fairly plugged up with the rust ....
as well as the petcock .
one main jet was completely plugged ! and it would only run on one cylinder !
but after 2 or 3 carb removals and cleanings I finally got it to run
these carbs are real bad about plugging up ! the passageways are very small and need cleaned real good ....( don't get carb cleaner on any rubber!) take everything off that you can on each carb and clean all the holes... then do it again ! ....i can't stress that enough ! do it again and again and make darn sure every hole in that carb is clean... then do the other one the same way.... take your time , don't rush through it !
make sure each hole is allowing the sprey cleaner to go through where it is supposed to.... some holes have 2 or 3 places they are supposed to exit to
you can't speed through a carb cleaning and expect it to be fine....
.... ask me how I know ? I am fighting an AMAL carb for my Triumph for the 3rd time and it still don't work ! AURGH !!!!!
