Removing tank and having it lined (brother has a shop for that, will be less and faster than new tank) and adding a inline filter is now a high priority. I guess the QJet filter in the carb sucks....

That "cinnamon" is dried flakes of gasoline. The filter in the carburetor sometimes has a spring to allow fuel to bypass the filter if it is too clogged. Cleaning the tank will go a long way towards reducing this problem. Once you do that, frequent driving reduces but does not eliminate the problem. If you put on an inline fuel filter, I'd recommend a steel can version between the pump and the carb. Plastic and glass filters can have leakage issues. Plastic gets hard and can crack, and the glass ones (if they screw together) can unscrew, with unfavorable results when fuel gets on a hot engine.
