you are like me! you like the noises, the smells and the atmosphere of the racetrack .... years ago on my trip to the north east I had been to watkins glen, but there was no one running, it was a midweek day, it was raining and it was cold but I keep a good memory of it

My friend brought me a poster from Watkins Glen but I've never been.
I've done a couple of driving schools at Phoenix International Raceway years ago.

I didn't find anything strange inside the tank. no rotten or detached pipes ... Years ago I had already replaced a fuel pump and had to modify the assembly. Since now I have everything taken apart I will order a new kit hoping it will solve the problem even if I'm afraid not. But at least I solve the problem of the accuracy of the float and I will be able to use the petrol again until the end of the tank.

no, I had bought one generical in the local auto parts (not the complete assembly because in Italy difficult to find and really expensive, over 300 dollars).i just changed the pump and had to modify the holder to fit the generic pump.
now I'd get one from the states ...
