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.

Re: Project "My Happy Mess"

Not sure where all of my pictures went to. Could be the server they were on, I changed the address? I don't think I have access to the directory to fix. But I'll see about checking.
