1986 560SEL stalling out on kick-down

I recently bought a 1986 560SEL. The engine was rebuilt (completely) at 212,000. The transmission was serviced at 195,000. It sat dormant for 4.5 years because the original owner had the engine rebuilt ($2,300 worth) and the tranny started acting up. He got digusted and parked it. Took him 4.5 years to decide to sell it I guess. I bought it, found a disconnected vaccum line under the passenger side of the airbox and it ran GREAT for 3 weeks.

The only parts I replaced to get it running (and home) were the high-volume / low-pressure fuel pump and the fuel filter. The old (original pump) had black old-gas sludge in it. I know I need to clean the tank (I was just foolishly hoping to melt it out).
