I put in new fuel lines from the pump along with a glass fuel filter. I'm a big proponent of glass filters. Very helpful when diagnosing. You can also see a new intake heater hose fitting I got from the good ol' "Help" section @ Oreilly's for $5.49. Much better than the $11.59 they want for it from Classic Industries.

do not use the glass fuel filter, seems like a good idea, i used them too until i had one split down the side and was spraying gas like a fan all over the engine, dont know how it didnt catch fire, i will never use another one
