So I took the advice I received and cut some egg crate foam for the filter instead, and I soaked the edges in 3n1 oil

Use a hair dryer or heat gun to gently blow some warm air through the tank to speed up the process. If you have any thick spots or puddles give it an extra 2 or 3 days, much better to let it cure completely than to have to start over.

I like to let them set for a week.

Thanks for the advice, there are quite a few thick spots, I'll let it sit a week, and blow on it with a hair dryer.

I don't think you can wait that long... I know I couldn't.

I just put a second coat in my 650 fuel tank, I let the first coat sit over night, I'll let the second coat sit until Thursday or Friday, since the 650 had the sediment bowl hole I'm going to stick the shop vac down in the tank and let the vacuum circulate the air inside the tank.

If I read the S/N number right Aug. 30th 1973 is when it was built.

I put a fuel line and filter on it last night and it runs but I need to kit the carb for sure.

Don't know if any of you guy have ever seen this or not.

Mine is a solid red one so I will check the serial on it and see how much later it is, mine has the sprocket nosed bar also and it looks like that one has the hard nosed?

Thanks! I haven't seen it before, now I can see when dad's 350 was built.

So I had the pleasure of running a Super EZ last night in some birch and then white oak and I tell you what, people aren't lying when they call that thing a little hot rod!

Well I'm super glad everyone enjoys the thread, it has become more than I ever thought it could become! I thoroughly enjoy talking with everyone here and sharing insight and advice, with the occasional brand bashing *wink* *wink* lol
