Replaced all fuel lines and relocated fuel filter so it's not between
the fuel pump and carb. Also found that there is an inline valve
coming off of the tank that looks just like the one you'd find on most
motorcycles. There's definitely an "on" and an "off" position and
(even though I didn't check yet) I believe there is also a "reserve"
position which could come in handy since I don't have a fuel gauge.
Also got the front winch mount welded on after work today and bolted
the winch up. Got it wired up, too, but it's a temporary wiring job.
It works, but I want to wire up some switches on the dash instead of
leaving the remote control for the winch laying on the floorboard.
After I got all of that done I noticed the master cylinder reservoir
was dry, but the floorboard around it was not. I'd noticed yesterday
the brake pedal was not returning to the upright position
consistently. Looks like it's time for a new master cylinder. I plan
on replacing that this weekend and coming up with some kind of mount
for a fire extinguisher, too. I'm taking pictures. Smile
