    Fuel Tee

    Robert sent me 12 orings for the fuel tubes (2x4) and the vent tees (2x2). I thought there were orings on the main fuel tee but after some destructive exploring I see thats not the case......I think. Appears to be a rubber coated tee with the ridges (I thought were orings) molded in. Can I still...

    Did I do this right?

    Dont know. Put a meter on your coil terminals and press the start button......If it drops to a couple volts less than battery voltage that's not a good thing. Nor are the carb issues you're dealing with but the carb rebuild is diffidently a step in the right direction.
