Thanks Jerry. I'm leaning towards eliminating the bottom drain. If I ever need to drain the tank I can use one of those little electric pumps all the FLAPS have for around $30. Still waiting on the sender I ordered. For some reason the vendor I chose never processed the order a week after I placed it, it was just sitting in their system waiting to be processed. If I ever decide to go with that vendor again I'll be sure to call them direct instead of ordering online.
a side note, this thing starts and idles with just a tap of the starter. So glad I rebuilt the carb.
