tom is lame...

he's been chopping his car in half and welding it back together with nary a post...  what a jerk...  i can't even live vicariously through his work in the bug/buggy... 

so, i'll post this one pic i took during a nap...  went to look at the reserve fuel lever, that might be causing a bit of a fuel flow problem, and here's what i saw:


the reserve tap is there, but it isn't connected to the control lever that goes into the passenger area of the car... you can see it to the left sticking out of the bulkhead...  that would explain why moving that lever around from inside the car, it seemed to move all over the place...

actually a good thing it was disconnected, otherwise i would have broken something the way i pulled the tank up... 

anywho, i tried to move the reserve tap by hand and couldn't, so i am going to drain the tank and take it out and try to rebuild it...  if not, i'll have to buy a new one... i peered into the tank to look at the screen filter in there and it looked ok, but as long as i am draining the tank and rebuilding the reserve tap, i'll clean it out...
