Here we go... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Today should be THE BIG DAY. I need about four more hours and I'm driving down the road.

I'm off work for the day already.

Engine tin, battery, electrical, and connect fuel line to pump.

I need to go round up a few things after lunch. Let's do this! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mueba.gif)

Tomorrow morning I'll put it back on the ground and drive it.

It was around 9:00 when I started it up and around 35 degrees...brrr.

I set the fuel preesure regulator while running to 3.5 PSI.
Takes a while to get an idle when it's this cold out. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool_shades.gif)

The header paint is stinky and smokey.

Trekkor,

Whose tank is that (a Vellios?) I thought they were different than that. Maybe they changed the style?

How much was the tank? and is there a drain or is it like original and have to disconnect a line?

Yes, Vellios.

Got it used.
Don't know the new price with all the parts. Filler neck, cap, dipstick, filter console and fittings.

No drain. You have to pull a line.

I knew a guy who just soldered up some pipe with a drain plug to the oil cooler for a 914-6. very slick, I never thought about soldering, but he said it was good to like 600-700 degrees, so I am thinking I might just try that one myself. He spent like $10 on pipe fittings from a hardware store. That sort of price is right up my alley! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

I wanna see pictures Trekkor! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/boldblue.gif)
