    Well When you guys make some video's Don't put a chicken in charge of the camera Like another club hot rod member did! He said he had a short video for us to watch. HE! HE! HE! He didn't make it to second gear and you see the camera change angels and shut off. HE! HE! HE! It was more like a flash or a glimps of a video HA! HA! HA! Very Funny!!!

    quick update: got my engine turning over. just had to stop and recharge the battery cause i am using the manual fuel pump to drain the old gas out of the tank. fuel pump is working well but i have a 1/4 tank to drain. i am very happy as i was concerned that the engine would not turn over or the fuel pump would not pump. i am getting there.

    If I am understanding you correctly, you are grinding on the starter motor to operate the fuel pump to drain the fuel tank. This is not a good way to proceed. It's not only tough on the starter, but the cam rotating in there with no splash lube on it ain't gonna like it for very long. Take a line loose and let the fuel drain out.

    What are you doing Barb, cranking the engine and pumping fuel out that way? Might want to be careful as that will be hard on the starter and also I'd worry a little about lubrication with the engine not starting up and all. You might be better off to pickup a cheap hand pump at the auto parts store and drain the tank that way.

    Just thought I should mention that.

    thanks don and tech. did not think about that. wow you guys just saved me ALOT of trouble. how could i have been so stupid. so i can just remove the hose coming out of the tank to drain the gas? I do not have any money for a pump and hubby is working out of town for the week so i can not raid his pockets. lol

    you can buy a cheap in line fuel pump and wire that up to pump the fuel out of the tank .cranking a engine for a long time is not to good you may get oil psi you do not get much oil splash on some parts of the engine that need that to keep them happy the hardest part of a engines life is cranking them ......slow fingers OH well
