Incase anyone is wondering about why this happened, It should be noted that this was a big improvent. Model t's dont have a fuel pump so they are purely gravity feed. So if you have a low gas tank, and are going up a steep hill, you can run out of gas. Guys would get around this by backing up a hill.RocketScott wrote:Do you have to worry about flooding the carb with the fuel pump?

Tell me about that rust conversion, please. What does it convert to and do you remove it after it's done its thing?

Active ingredient is phosphoric acid - converts iron oxide (rust) into iron phosphate. Let it dry for 24 hrs and then apply top coat right over it.

Here are the parts after lots of solvent and wire brushing. Pretty simple design.
