There once was a man who lived in a shoe. He woke up every morning and said "What shall I do?". After years of struggle and financial strife. He bought a new home and married his wife. Many years later he started to hate her. She didn't come home soon after, they were through. He traded her belongings for a bigger shoe, a boot this time.. Not one but two.. they were made of leather and they fit him much better. They say he never took them off, its true. He bought a motorcycle that was built in Japan. The Harley guys laughed, thinking he was less of a man, until he fired up the bike and let them hear how it ran. That CB750 how it revved quite quickly. Four carbs and disc brakes.. Hey, that's kind of nifty! He laughed and smiled as he sped away quickly. No destination in mind, he rode just to unwind. A new freedom, his dream come true...

And for that gas tank, some naval jelly swirled around inside has done wonders for me. Or you could use one of the Kreme tank liner kits. If you do the Kreme kit, be sure to get the one that is made for ethanol fuels.

A handfull of BB's and some small gravel shaken around in there can knock a lot of that fuzzy rust off.

Thanks,I just spent 150.00 cash and 150.00 trade getting the carbs rebuilt.They look almost new!I dont want to gunk them up with my rusty tank.
 Thanks for the info.Also on the headlight and ears we're kinda far apart on price.Good luck with your sale though.Shiny Mike

An inline fuel filter, for around $4, will keep the crud out of your clean carbs.  My '79 was missing the OEM screen filter on top of the petcock, so an inline filter was spliced into the line, after the petcock.  Cheap insurance.  Cheers!
