Fuel system fun

Ok, with most of the electrical system working (other than the head and tail lights which I will figure out soon) I think its time to see to the fuel system. First thing is first, I'm going to remove the fuel tank, and use some light acid to burn out the touches of rust that are inside the tank. Then I will replace the fuel filter, and then the big job, cleaning out the carburetors, I have been putting it off, but with the gas tank coming off, there will really be no excuse to not remove and clean them.

I will also use this time since most of the big parts of the bike will be removed, to check over the rest of the wires that run under the gas tank, as well as checking the compression of the cylinders and all of the valves and gaskets. I will also be installing new spark plugs that I bought (and checking for spark from each of them), and checking for oil leaks, and doing an oil change as well as basic, but through, cleaning of everything inside and out.

Lastly, with the gas tank off and drained of gas, I may try to remove the 2 small dents that are in it, I will see what an auto body place wants to charge me, if its under 100 bucks, ill spring for it, otherwise I have a few techniques I want to try for myself, and as a last resort I could always use autobody filler and just sand it down to perfection. I will also look into a new paint job, that will probably be expensive though, so maybe I wont do that yet, I'm not sure.

That is a lot to do in the next few days, but I think I could get most of it done properly if I plan it well. Ill keep you posted.
