Hello Folks,
My dad bought this motor new back in 57 and it was only used a few times. I would like to start using it and being that it's 50 + years old, I thought it would be a good idea to replace ignition parts and clean carb. I have replaced the cracked ignition coils, points etc. I also pulled the carb apart and cleaned everything. I purchased a new dual line hose for my fuel tank and now see there are hazard postings on websites concerning these pressurized tanks. While I have this motor apart should I do the conversion or is it a bunch of bs? Has anyone actually heard of a tank exploding?
