looks like you are doing a great job, One thing what type of fuel lines did you use , some have big problems with the ETHANOL in the fuel they tend to rot and leak much sooner then the gray ones ?

I hear you I used to use the black automotive hose but several of my outboards had carb problems with crap from the fuel lines , I went to the new grey type ,did have some problems with kinking in hot weather, but no contamination in the carbs, the trick is to rout the hose with no sharp bends

all the new tanks do it, they have a pressure valve on the vent to meet emission standards. Ive got np idea what that grey valve is, did it come with the tank?
