When you get it to about empty get a air compressor with a finger tip nozzel and blow it backwards into the tank. If you want to really clean it then you can drop the tank and do the harpoon mod on it.

I would switch the fuel caps; if your problem reverses itself (under powered rear tank), just get a new cap. Hopefully, this is the solution, otherwise follw the previous advice.

Work on it you can get it off, it takes a little twisting and prying.
