MMO is a shot in the dark.
It isn't going to dissolve rust or solid crystals that I've seen in fuel
tanks and blocking filters.
I'd replace the filter, but first I'd run the tank near dry and drain the
bottom 1.5 gallons of gas out with a siphon or pump and try starting with
all fresh gas. Put driver side front wheel up about 6" either with a jack or
on a curb and you'll be able to get most of the old fuel out.
I used a 3/8 rubber hose with solder wrapped around the end for weight.
pushed the hose down the tank, wrapped the hose with a rag at the filler and
blew compressed air into the tank.
I got lots of crystals about the size of bacon bits by using the pressure.
You can also blow air (compressed or your breath) back into the out pipe on
your tank and clear the filter sock.
