Funny, mine was super hard almost like a plastic and I just assumed it was a different material so I left it...maybe I should replace it. Let me know when your new fill hose comes in, if it's a softer/pliable rubber vs rigid.

Just letting everyone know I'm not dead. Haven't posted because I have been slammed with work and haven't had time to dig into this anymore. The okie rebuild remains the only way to drive the 60 without it stalling. I assume this is still because of all the junk that was in my tank and got...

I have no idea what valve lash is or how to check it. Any tips on this?

In my case, none of the lines were hard to get off, I was able to pull them all off by hand, including releasing the hose clamps by hand. How did your tank removal go?

Good point - I have an OME Lift and am just able to scoot out from under it with the tank on my chest.

I had to drop twice but about a year apart. The first time, I had a leak from the gasket at the fuel pickup so I changed the gasket. At the time, I didn't realize how rusty my tank was so a year later I dropped the tank and ended up replacing it because it was so rusty and clogging my fuel filter.

All set now, thank you! (was this a setting for me as a new forum member?)

I only had 1 message thread. I just "left" it and have nothing in my inbox but still have no option to start a new one. I don't get it...

I'm new to the forum but I am having the same problem. I don't see "New Conversation" when I go to my inbox. I received a DM and was able to respond but don't see any way to send a new DM to a member...what am I missing?

Here's a photo of the old tank removed - it shows all 8 fuel line connections that have to be removed.

Since I have had to drop my tank twice (replaced it the second time), I figured I'd take some photos to help out anyone else that has to do this in the future. I'll post a link to a video too once I have the video posted. Hope this helps someone else.

I did check this (thanks for this photo) and my fuel level looks right when parked and when idling.

Thanks G-Man for all that input. FWIW - I did the "okie rebuild" with it first idling while I was doing other stuff then drove it through my neighborhood - probably a 1-1.5 miles in total with the choke all the way closed (knob pulled all the way out) and it ran fine. The last 1/4 mile on the...

Thanks G-Man. Agreed and this is my plan, focusing on the engine first. 1. I don't know that I have a sight window, not that I have seen. Remember I'm a complete novice with this engine and used to working on more modern stuff. I will look for this though to check. 2. I will check the spark...

Sorry - totally my fault. Yes, by "wide open" I mean "totally closed". I didn't realize this was how it worked, but I meant "choke knob pulled all the way out, light on, choke engaged"
