Hi everyone, So the last week or so I have noticed after shutting down the engine, I get a hissing almost like a whistle coming from my fuel tank vent. It goes away after a few minutes or so. I opened the inspection cover and disconnected the line - mid whistle- the other day and it seems...

Thanks!

I have seemed to misplace the two nuts that hold my rad in ( the ones that attach through the frame cross member) anyone know off hand which size they are? I'm at the hardware store and forgot to check before I left...

good job man! i'll be following your progress closely. i'm about half way ( I hope - colour should be going on the tub in the next week or so) through my 81. Keep up the good work!
