when I came home for lunch I pulled the hose leaving the pump and it poured out almost brownish at first and then the blueish gas/oil color. I noticed it is leaking at the gasket a little.
Later.. When I got home from work its been warm and the tank has been in the sun today still hooked up to...
Dang! at this point i was really hoping that was it... still died out without constantly priming. Hopefully the gasket solves the problem but I feel my shortcut of being cheap might have bit me in the @$$
Just ordered a new gasket for between the pump and manifold. I've replaced every part of the fuel line so if that doesn't fix it I'm going to assume I bought a bad fuel pump and replace that again. It was a used part I bought off ebay. Once again, I tried being cheap and I end up paying twice as...

While I'm trying to decide what to do with the interior and weather was nice this weekend... I decided to sand the exterior and prime it for paint. I was able to just use a wire wheel on my 4 1/2 in angle grider to get all the old paint off. Debated on buying some aircraft paint remover but I...
