If you have water in your tank it separates from your petrol and sits below it as can be seen clearly in the picture below. So even if you drain your carbs you're still only going to refill them with water. You need to remove your tank and undo the 2 x 10mm bolts and carefully remove the fuel tap. Now drain the tank into a bucket and you'll soon see if you have water in there. Scoop the petrol off the top and put back in the tank or just put fresh fuel in. Now you just need to clear the fuel drain tube whilst it’s off to stop a reoccurrence.
