You're right about the old gas/varnish.  Smells horrid when burning.  Open
the gas tank lid and sniff.  Probably the same smell, just not as strong.  I
would highly recommend pulling a gas line and draining the tank. I wouldn't
want that junk in my carbs, lines, and filters.  The car will run much
better on fresh gas anyway.
