I think we all have projects that got sidelined by life. Glad you have found a way to get back to it.
Indeed. Draining gas today. I think I had a full tank when I parked it, so I am trying to get it all into my 3x 5gal gas cans, my 2.5gal can, and then any gallon jugs I have laying around. Can't take it to Rock River Reclamation which is 45min away until SAT when they are open for taking old fluids in. Will get 5gal of new gas once I have the tank drained, but the plastic tubing of the siphon is hard to keep the end submerged in the tank. I will pull the rubber fuel line under the passenger seat and try to drain the lines in a pan. I will replace the carb and fuel line to it from the pump. I have a fuel filter before the pump I will probably replace too. Anything I should do with the pump to make sure it runs once I have it drained and new fuel in?
