I've been wrenching like crazy on my bird. As Ted saw it a couple of weeks ago there is still a bunch of stuff to do but I've made tons of progress with a snag just aboiut everyday on something new

So, today after a week of chasing a wiring/ignition problem and gettting it back up and running, and almost ready to trailer to the tranny shop-I let the new fuel pump dump a bunch of fine crud into the carb from the tank which has been sitting at least a year, more like two. Duh.

So I've got the old tank out of the car now-should I spend the effort and money I know it will take to get it cleaned up and sealed up properly or bite the bullet for a new one! I am worn out from rebuilding and so is my bank account.

here's whats available on EBAY.

I've sealed tanks in the past for leaks with that "red" sealer and it worked for that fine corrosion junk but they were smaller bike tanks
