Morphous Gas Tank Removal

[xamper]

Howdy,

My son found a non-running Morphous. It's been sitting for two years and I need to clean up the gas tank. I've got the tank unbolted, but it just won't come out of the frame

Any trick? Do I need to take out the radiator? Do I need to take the engine out? Shop manual just says to take it out, and no further instruction.

TIA - Jim

OK, I've got it out. The trick was to undo the stocks and lift the back end. This will lower the engine and make the top of the cylinder head perpendicular to the ground. That gave me enough clearance to get the tank out.

I dug into the tank and it was all rusted and the fuel pump was useless.
