[QUOTE="EyesMan34, post: 462046, member: 8342"] I’ve done quite a few of these. If you’re mechanically inclined it’s pretty simple. I recommend taking pictures before you take it apart, for routing fuel lines. Drain the VST tank before you disassemble it with the drain screw on the bottom. Make sure you have a good phillips screwdriver for the little tank screws, they will be very tight. Clean the tank and filter with carb cleaner and a soft toothbrush. I also recommend cleaning the needle valve on the chamber float and test it/the o-ring it seats in. (If you’ve run ethanol through it, it will probably leak, replace them both) Sometimes the VST tank gasket will expand when you separate the tank halves. If it does, throw it in the freezer while you work on cleaning the tank. It will shrink down. And make sure the internal pump is fully seated when you put it back together, the rubber boot in top of it can move and not line up right. Put blue loctite on the little phillips screws when you reassemble it. it’s a pretty basic process. Disassemble/clean/ reassemble [/QUOTE]
