I just came in from the garage (it's cold out there). I replaced the fuel pump rather than guess if the old one was leaking and put a second filter in the line between the tank and the fuel pump. The oil definitely smells like gas. I noticed that there were several small pieces of dirt or rust in the bottom of the settlement bowl. The speed shop had cleaned that out 50 miles ago. Their assumption is that the tank is full of crap. However, I used Eastwoods cleaner and sealer last year. Rather than guess on that I'm going to go ahead and buy a new tank. I replaced the line at the bottom of the tank and the rubber line last summer. All that's left is the piece that runs along the frame. I guess I'll change that too so I have everything new. Once I have that, I'll take it back to the speed shop and let them clean and set the carbs again. They'll have to do something about the timing too. I sure hope that resolves my issues. I'm really getting sick of this mess. I just want to drive and enjoy that ole girl.
