Does anyone have a way to add the fitting to the tubing after you already flared the end? Yep, I did that last night. I picked up some new tubing this morning and fixed my dumb mistake. Boy, was I steamed last night. All that time learning how to bend tubing and I thought I had it just right. Oh well, ended up getting more experience working with tubing I guess. I also got my rebuilt Carter carburetor installed. Just need to hook up the throttle and choke cables, then the pedal linkage. While I had the air cleaner off, I riveted some guides to hold the air filter on center. The donut shaped foam board piece I originally used kind of melted and shrunk from the heat. Tip on rivets: Don't drill a hole right over the screw/nut that secures the air cleaner to the carburetor. I was lucky and just barely missed it and it was a tight fit to get that rivet installed.
