[QUOTE="thill, post: 502390, member: 4972"] I've been doing odds and ends on the Spectrum, like replacing the fuel sender and the steering system. I have the carbs pulled from the Johnson, just need to rebuild them, check the hoses and other components and test fire the engine. If she runs right, I plan to mount the engine onto the boat. That will be a major step. After that, I plan to spray detergent and hot water into the built in tank , and then trailer the boat to the lake for a water test. Hopefully, she will run well. By the end of the water test and all the trailering, the agitation should have the fuel tank pretty cleaned up. After getting back home, I'll mop around with a coat hanger and terrycloth towel, shop vac the soapy water out, and then mop inside with a dry towel. At that point, the tank should look new inside. Fresh new lines, squeeze bulb and a filter, and the fuel system should be in great shape. Still lots of work to do, but I'll get there. [/QUOTE]
