[@upland1826]

Must say I thoroughly enjoy your approach to the mechanicals of this uncommon but substantial classic and your commentary. I find myself offering suggestions as you work along.

PS Forgot to mention: please use a miter box when cutting hoses, so you'll get a nice straight, clean cut.

coming on well , can't wait to hear that beauty run, one thing though, your shed needs a Teasmade! ; )

[@Rust_in_Time]

It certainly does! Luckily I have plenty of Teasmades to choose from!

Or run a new fuel line in stainless or copper-nickel. Then flare for those brass fittings.

[@Rust_in_Time]

I considered a copper replacement, but was concerned that being copper it may conduct more heat from the exhaust, which runs along side. Stainless is an excellent idea though. Thanks

[@corylwillrise]

@@Rust_in_Time the stainless is just hard to flare, but there are flaring tools that will do it

[@corylwillrise]

Compressed air would have been useful for some of these processes.

[@Rust_in_Time]

Didn't have any luck trying to use it to clear the blockage unfortunately
