You have 3 hoses on your tank, one to the motor, one to the vent, and the fill hose.
Vent hose is just as important as the rest as with no air the tank will not work. and they get old and rotted also, so since you have the tank open you should change all while you are there!

Also, is that tank aluminum? I can't tell from the pictures, but it looks almost like a fiberglass tank which was VERY popular back from the 60's to the 80's.

tank
the tank is aluminum. I will try to clean it up this weekend and post pictures of what I find there. The fuel gauge is not working either. When I close the circuit between one of the cables and the gauge the needle goes to Full so I guess the gauge is good and the other cable is the one that is not working correctly.
What is your opinion on putting any sweat into fixing the fuel gauge. I have heard from a ton of people that it is not worth the trouble. Just fill up the tank before each trip and be happy with it.

The sending unit ain't but about $20. The gauge working is a good conversation piece.
Replacing the sending unit also gives you a chance to explore the tank for debris like water and stuff by siphioning the bottom. If you remove it, go ahead and replace it, gasket and all.

Many here will say fix it!!
I on the other hand say screw it! Unless you going off shore you will never need all that gas, so if you fill up each time you have nothing to worry about!!
