Carb finally showed up. Put that on last Saturday along with all new plastics and lights. I took off the obnoxiously large Clarke tank and bought two semi-beat up used tanks. I wet-sanded one of them today and am going to try painting it with Krylon Fusion. The other one I'm going to Plastidip and see what happens.

I'd imagine we'll see a few semi-warm days in March, but so far this winter has blown as far as temps go.

I give it two months or so. I put 14 coats on it, at least when it starts to bubble it will all lift off. It actually turned out real nice.

I put that on yesterday and adjusted the valves, the petcock started dripping and my new carb was dumping gas. Put my Clarke tank on, same deal...dripping petcock. Jammed a rag up there and Tried starting it and that was a no-go, I called it a day as I had a few drinks and didn't feel like having it fall on me trying to start it. I really hate dealing with carbs, if I can't figure it out on Thursday the guy at the Polaris dealer will do it on Friday morning. He used to tune my carbs on my Jetski's back in the day, he's one of those guys that can do it in 20 minutes and have it nailed. I just second guess myself with those too much.
