I've just replaced the Rochester carb with an Edelbrock 600 and got her running nicely. I thought I'd check the t&t, but when I pressed the buttons, I hear motor running but the cylinders don't move. I know I put them on last summer (then didn't use it as gas prices were way too high and kids weren't into tubing or skiing). I don't recall if I refilled the t&t reservoir with hydrolic t&t fluid (or whatever is needed -- I'll check with the shop to make sure I get whatever is best).

I just need to know where to check if there is (enough) fluid in the reservoir. I remember filling it the first time I changed the cylinders and remember it wasn't difficult. I now have the seats in the back out so I could work on motor more easily and now's the time to work on the t&t. Anyone have a nice picture (even a parts image on net) of where I can check the level and/or a nice description of how to check and fill it if needed. Thanks in advance.
