Basically about right. The service manual was close on what needed to be removed, just that lower bracket ended up being in the way. It was easier to cut it off and weld it back on at the time since I had access to a welder at that time.

Ended up cutting off a mounting bracket on the right side of the frame to get the tank out and then welded it back on after replacing the grommets.

The wheel cylinders are pretty cheap, mine were seized as well. Was easier and faster to just replace them than to try and rebuild them.

The F35 demo team from Hill AFB did a flyover most of Utah yesterday as well. I wasn't able to see them from my place, I'm. further west from their flight path that they took. Definitely heard them.

Definitely should be straight. OEM bowls can be pricey, a Chineseium carb would work for just the parts.

Looking good. One tip on those front drums, if you haven't already, there's a little ratchet to depress to allow the shoes to collapse back in. They'll then self adjust the next time you hit the brakes.

Had a similar problem on my '93 QuadRunner, the front brakes were completely shot after sitting for 20 years. I ended up replacing everything on it, except for the hard metal lines. Those cleared out with a little persuasion. The rubber lines were completely collapsing. I could have gone the used parts route, but I don't like to take a chance when it comes to brakes so I forked out for new rubber lines.

For sure, It's been a journey on this one.

Thanks, it's been a real challenge to get this dialed in. Turned out the carb was missing the needle jet from the factory. Took a bit to track that gremlin down.

Quick and dirty video of it running decent finally. Re-jetted the carb this afternoon, got rid of the sea level jetting. It ran, just now that it's warmed up it would run rich again. Was fine when it was still cold.

87 should be fine for it, ethanol free if it's available.

Bad gas can cause that pinging, even with an octane booster. I'd drain and clean the tank out, since you mentioned you were seeing a black sludge coming through.
