Just went to Daytona Parts site, and this is probably going to cure my problem.

Shocks still working well, no leaks. Best/cheapest fix ever. Now if I can get my rebuilt fuel pump flooding the carb problem sorted out.

As far as your fuel tank situation, you may want to check my progress blog. (No progress in some time, however). I restored my tank, and it has held up just fine. Cleaned it with diluted muriatic acid strapped to an electric concrete mixer, and filled with chains, nuts, and bolts. Coated with Eastwood's product after drying.

Hey, Joe. Going slowly. Finally got around to rebuilding the fuel pump, and the carb is now flooding like an SOB.

I'm pretty sure I put the same spring back, at least it looked like the one that came out when I disassembled the pump. The vacuum side has a heavy spring as I recall, which was not supplied with the kit. The fuel side had a replacement spring, and I think that is the one I used.

That looks marvelous. Are those 1949 zip-ties?

Okay. I finally got around to rebuilding the fuel pump. Not rocket surgery. Not too much fun, either, but the anticipated reward of the availability of fuel for starting was an enchanting reward.
Pumps like an SOB! Overcoming the frail float needle and flooding fuel everywhere! A bit more than I expected/asked for. Okay. Take it easy. Must be a faulty or dirty needle and seat. Pulled the uppermost part of the carb to see what was up. Looked normal. Called Mike's Carbs, where I purchased the kit five years ago, and spoke with Krystal. Not Mike, like the last time I called. She says that I need a FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR! Why do I need a regulator when I have a carb that WAS working just fine, and now have a refreshed fuel pump???

DON"T REMOVE THE BOLT! I was referring only to the tiny plug where you add oil. You don't need to disconnect any suspension components, at least I didn't.
