    An actual A1 is somewhat rare, most were upgraded to A2s. What does the engine data plate say? You'll find it on the passenger side of the block. As for advice, absolutely clean the tank and replace all the filters. You'll also want to replace the fuel pump hose inside the tank, and there is...
