    Also epoxied up the old holes for trim tabs and fish finder. While I was at it I drilled out the outdrive holes ( a smidge over sized) and epoxied those up as well. Ya know the little details. Getting it done!

    7-5 More progress. Finished replacing the after locker. Used polyester resin in 90 temps. Stuff was kicking off in like 10 minutes. 🤣 Made small batches about 8 oz at a time. dry fit the board. tabbed in with 6 in wide csm. Very happy with how it came out. A little paint and she will look purdy.

    Fuel tank fitting

    Question….. what should be used on the threads of this fitting. In addition what is to be used on the fuel fill rubber line? I know about 2 hose clamps must be used on each end. Is there a sealant to be used? Any help would be appreciated.

    Gas leaking out of one carb?

    Did you replace the needle? i used a qtip with a dab of brass o to polish up the brass needle seat in the bottom of the carb. That helped mine stop leaking. Did you check the float height?

    Update 6-29 another project that needed attention. The aft locker was toast. I removed that a couple years ago. After removing the rotted wood i made a template out of cardboard.

    Starter crapped out today, I tapped it with a hammer then it worked.

    Probably… had a 76 Volkswagen rabbit that had the same issue. Always carried a hammer with me… the bendix finally gave out.. replaced the starter. others may agree don’t go with an overseas cheapo one. Get the real deal. JMO
