Assuming the rust isn't too serious, I get out the loose stuff that might cause trouble, make sure I have a good pleated paper filter, and I use the tank. I get out the loose rust by putting small gravel with some water in the tank and shaking it around until my arms are tired, rest and repeat a few times. Then I get the gravel out, rinse it thoroughly, and dry it. If you can reach the rusted area with sandpaper or a wire brush, you don't need the gravel.
I didn't use any special tool when I adjusted the valves on my '05.

ducatiman can advise about carbs and petcock. I recommend sending your carbs to him for a full, like-new restoration. If you want to do it yourself, this might help:
