CaliWagon83 finally getting his hands dirty!

Yeah, that fuel line has got to go. I guess someone didn't have access to a proper flare wrench so he decided to use Channelocks or vise grips. The sign of a turkey...

you must still have Thanksgiving on your mind....🤔

That is where the saying "rule of thumb" came from and in this pc world I am very surprised people use it without any backlash

View attachment 100382Success! After a trip to Harbor Freight for a set of box wrenches, and some brute force, the carburetor is off! Next trip, carburetor rebuild!

Huh... I just binned one of those last week.

Yep. Just a factory-spec rebuild.

Okay...Now that the carb is off...Going to need a new pump-to-carb fuel line. Does anyone have a PN, or a source for NOS or good quality reproductions? Supposedly Summit offers one, but it got a 1-star review that said it wasn't even close to the original. Open to suggestions.
