All very good questions and answers. My thoughts are that I am going to do what I can from the access hatch (ie remove old fuel and what solids I can), change the filter, fill er' up again (with Stabil added) and call it good. I may buy some star brite, whic Practical Sailor gave two thumbs up to.
Since I am not experiencing any issues at the moment, I will save the professional cleaning if/when they arise.
