Rides super smooth. Haven't done much since finishing restoration. Recently changed out the fuel pump (was leaking) and installed a larger inline filter directly after fuel tank. Haven't tracked it down yet - but guessing my original tank/sending unit disintegrated to rust (fuel gauge is inaccurate, needle bounces around too), filled filter with rust particles before carb, but destroyed fuel pump diaphragm? Started sucking rust from tank ever since I accidentally ran it dry once.
