Hey no problem. Let me know. If you don't want the top Its probably going to end up on ebay or on listed in the for sale section on here. I'd rather see it go to someone on here who will use it and is a part of this forum.

Hopefully that is your problem. I know I had to go through everything on my like a fine tooth comb and with everyone's help on here I got it straightened out.

Hopefully you drained it if it's ben sitting for along time. Yep, fuel sours and not only that moisture builds up in the tank. Don't know how much is in there, but if it's been sitting for more than a year I'd drain it.

Ever get the FP guage?
