My bike would run but once in gear it sounded like no gas was getting in and it would die out.
There is a nipple located on the lower left side of the Carb. It takes a Hex to twist it or a needle nose plier. Turn it and the bad gas from the carb will leak out. Usually water and dirt. I put a plastic bottle under the nipple until it stops, usually 1 oz comes out. Or you can get the card cleaned for $300.
Carborater clean on the outside and fuel cleaner in the gas tank will do it

I'm pretty sure it does. I own a 1995 Vulcan and I bought a 2003 tank and looked at the mounting brackets and fuel connections all looked to be the same - but don't put this in stone. I haven't been able to put it on yet because it's still out being painted. There should be no difference in the fuel tank mounts from 1996-1005, but as always, check with a professional if this information is critical.

If the bike is still running your in luck. Just go to your local auto parts store and get a can of Sea Foam and dump about half the can in with a couple gallons of gas. fire it up and let it idle for awhile until it get a good carb full. Then procede to ride it Hard and you should start to feel the results very quickly. I recently revived an old honda that had been setting for 16 years that same way. I just let the Sea Foam set in the carb over night and went riding the next day. ( Old time mechanics secret carb rebuild.0 Its been around for 60 years or so. Have fun.
