I would clean the carbs. Even with the inline if the tank was bad most likely the carbs are too. It kinda sounds like a float needle is sticking and flooding out the carb. Best way to check is when it sputters if you shut the gas off does the sputering stop in a second or two. Otherwise it very well could be a whole host of carb issues most of which can be resovled by a careful detailed cleaning. Do it right once and you wont be like me and have to go back over what you miss the first time.
