[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 298842, member: 3278"] There is absolutely zero need to convert it over to a single line tank. The pressurized system is virtually bulletproof in design. All parts to rebuild that tank are also available. Almost zero failures compared to a "modern" fuel pump. The engine must be run on 24:1 fuel/oil mixture. Do not listen to Billy Bob or Bubba, the local mechanics. The engine is a plain bearing engine and needs the additional lubrication by design, even with the present day oils. To properly put one back into service the ignition, fuel system, and cooling/gearcase all must be looked at and taken care of as necessary. The impeller and gearcase seals are all over 50 years old and not to be trusted if used. [/QUOTE]
