Finally got the 2005 SV650 back together after a frame swap, buncha new parts + front end and cleaning 13 years of grime from every single part.
When I tipped the gas tank to drain the old fuel, I could hear something clattering around inside. Assuming it would return to haunt me, I added some new gas and installed the tank.
Bike is not starting, cranks good but no signs of combustion.
Before I drain and pull the fuel sender from the tank, a) is it normal to have random shit rattling around in your SV tank and b) any sweet tricks on draining the tank completely? I just use a long tube and siphoned it previously
