I use a flexible bottle brush I can 'scrub' the inside of the tank with.

Haven't done it, but plan to. I have heard the a radiator shop can clean and
treat the inside of the tank the right way. I am not a fan of Kreme or similar
products.

Yup, found some evidence of rust in the tank. The metal inside that I can see
is barely stained. I suspect the rust that was mobile got sucked into the
carbs. I took the tank off and shook it and no more apparent loose rust is
coming out with the fuel. Any advise on cleaning the tank any better
Took them out, all looked good. At first I didn't even see anything in there
until a got a light. The orings looked fine. No cracks and still pliable. One
less thing to work about.

WRT the red gunk, it was almost like a powder. It washed out very easily with a

If you mess with the pilot screws at all, remove and replace the orings within.
Mine are always cracked and broken when I have cleaned years old carbs.

Reddish gunk sounds like dried up gasoline. You should get the carbs cleaned
sonically. You can also soak them in kerosene for a couple days. I would not
use WD40.

Usually only if the PO has monkeyed with them already. If so, gently
tighten them to snug, then back them out 2.5 turns then sync the carbs.
