Gooey gas problem

Hi everyone!

I recently purchased a 69 Spitfire with a 76 Spitfire engine (installed by the previous owner). When I bought the car it was not running, so I have been working on it for a while. I have found that the gas line coming from the fuel tank is gummed up with old gas that has turned to jelly. Does anyone have a good (or bad) idea about how to clean out the line? Or should I just replace the line back to the tank?

Any advice is welcome!

Thanks,

Matt in Ohio
