Weber.

Also how hard is to get the fuel tank off.

ok if a webber then from the engine bay pull the choke full on and start it.

also just to get the thing running you can turn up the idling speed just to sort out the running of the thing then turn it back down if you get it sorted !

It's easy, dissconect pipes from behind drivers seat, undo bolts - just put a jack under it first, especially if its full, else you drop a fuel tank on you... which is all bad

Or in the real world.......
support the tank on a jack, cut off the bolts (with a grinder if necessary - a Dremel would be good here).
Undo the filler and breather pipe behind the driver's seat, drop tank out.
