Does it smell like bad gas? If it doesn't smell sour you may be able to just run it out.
If your worried about varnish and crud, drop the tank and drain it.
You could even use the electric fuel pump to pump it out, but then your still running bad gas, and sucking varnish or whatever into the pump/filter.Or filter screen if it hasn't deteriorated

If you remove the filler cap it may drain a bit faster.

Be patient or go buy a super cheap electric universal pump and pump and hook it up at the fuel line that goes from the frame to engine. That is the easiest way to do it.
That's what I did with my 28 gal. tank yesterday. Worked perfect! I pulled the filler hose off the body filler neck, and ran the pump hose in there. Good luck.
