You've got me all freaked out now. I hope I didn't mess up my tank. O_o I's assume there's no way to look and tell if I damaged the lining?

The bike seems to be running MUCH better now. The only problem is the backfiring (and the uneven idle). I haven't taken it to work yet, because I don't want it to die in the middle of nowhere. I'll at least change the spark plug and the oil before I chance it.
Probably no way to tell about the tank. Just watch the upper part that you can see with a flashlight for signs of rust.

You may just need to run more B12 through it to finish the cleaning BUT you really need to check for those air leaks I mentioned. Might be an easy fix.
