I have a @1990 JD 170 lawn tractor that would start but quit at low rpm or when shut off would not restart. Wait an hour and starts right up. I determined it must be flooding. Changed out the float needle and cleaned carb. Put back together and will not start at all. Just cranks and cranks...

Does anyone know the easiest method to remove the gas tank in a JD 170? Tank has sludge in it which keeps clogging the fuel line. So far, I've used compressed air to blow back up the line, but it only works for a few weeks and then clogs again. Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.
