Today was a good day.

The 96 hours for the fuel tank sealer to cure finally passed. Re installed my fuel tank. Put 5 gallons and some oil in the tank. Got her to start and run for couple trips up the driveway.

TikTok vid gas tank install


still a lot of work to do. Microtech needs to be tuned. But she moved under her own power. I didn’t have to push it.

here’s a couple pics. I had a couple pin holes. Used jb weld tank sealer on those before using the tank sealer. I have most of the process covered in videos on TikTok.
