I AGREE WITH THE SEA FOAM IDEA!! its easy to drain the carb bowels and add sea foam to the gas.

DON'T FORGET TO CHECK THE "HIDDEN FUEL FILTER" UP UNDER THE TANK IT COULD BE GETTING CLOGGED. EASY FIX. I would also install a inline fuel filter. cheep and easy. 4 bucks for a small one and 2 zip ties. a good 5 dollars spent on a lot of protection. (Goes between petcock and gas tank)


The little filter is EXTREMELY prone to vanishing up. Also you might want to rinse the gas out of your old tank.

Huh? Remove the fuel line. Place a hose over the petcock outlet and drain that nasty stuff for use as a weed killer, cocktail, er fuel for the lawnmower if it, at the minimum, smells like gas. Turn the petcock off. Add some fresh gas, say a pint. Now drain that too, except drain it using not the petcock spout but the carb bowls. All the gas out that you can get out? Turn the petcock off. Remove the tank. While holding the tank over something, open the tap and move the tank round to get what you can of the remaining gas. Remove petcock. Set tank on 2x4 so petcock hole is higher than the right side of tank bottom. Add fuel to tank. A pint or so. Place your fat thumb over petcock hole, lift tank and swish. Hold fat thumb over that something to collect fuel and remove fat thumb. How does rinse look? Clean? You decide on re-rinsing. Clean petcock stalks. Replace petcock.

While you have the tank off, get to the hidden fuel filter. Remove it clean it then you decide to replace it or use an in-line aftermarket fuel filter.


Replace tank. Re-connect fuel line. Then bolt stuff up. Add about a gallon or two of fuel/seafoam mix to tank. Turn petcock on. Turn petcock off. Drain carb bowls. Turn petcock on. Turn petcock off. This is your captain we are all going…er. Pop open a brew or several and go to bed. Try starting her in the morning.
