Just that, the gas tank has some rust inside and I want it clean. Any ideas?
They make an emulsion kit for coating the inside of a fuel tank. Just check with your local Parts dept. You must drain and remove your tank and prep the inside of the tank with sandpaper or I have found that a 12" - 18" extension for a drill and a wire brush work the best. Then use mineral spirits or something along that line to flush out the inside of the tank and then make sure you have cleaned out the rust as best as you can, be careful the wall of the tank is not all that thick, then use the acid to clean out the inside of the tank again. This will prep the inside of the tank to adhere to the coating. Then pour the emulsion coating into the tank and roll the tank around coating the entire insides of the tank. Let dry I suggest a good 24 hours but follow the instructions of the kit. That's it. Good Luck

You have several of options >
Personally, the tank liner is low cost and works extremely well. Tank removal is an involved effort. You would be well served in getting a service manual for the bike. With the manual you can do more than just fix the tank. One oil change and the manual pays for itself. Now you can do a whole lot more than just an oil change.
Google "service manuals honda" or try your local library. Often guys will donate manuals to the library. You can also go to www.repairmanuals.com and probably purchase a manual there.

it's probably leaking from the carb and down the cylinder into the crankcase.
it is probably due to a stuck float in the carb. take the float bowl off and make sure it is clean. the float can also be full of gas not letting it float up and stop the gas flow. the carb will fill up and leak wherever it can which is likely the case
