Ok, thanks for the heads up on that! I would have been so confused as to what is going on haha. And on that note, I haven't looked down at the fuel tank yet, but I have seen a few brand new ones for fairly cheap. Do you think it would be wise to change out the fuel tank as well, while I'm down there?

The only reason I ask is because the more I look around the more rust I'm finding on things, and I'm concerned that the fuel tank isn't an exception to that. Since I live in an apartment, when I do have the space to pull things apart, I have to make the best use of my time and space.

Also, my fuel gauge doesn't seem to be reading very accurately. What could I do about that?

F.Y.I. Mine is a manual, so thank god I don't have to worry about the shifting issue.
