Fairly sure it didn't. Most bikes have a strainer inside the tank, attached to the tap, but dirty fuel and rust particles in steel tanks can cause problems that the tank filter doesn't catch, so many owners stick an in-line filter on as well.

 

its first ride in nine years... Still have a few bugs to work out.

 

Think i may have found the fuel leak...
A 1/8" hole drilled into the tank and filled with JB Weld!

 

Welded up the hole tested it got it back together and forgot the photos.

 

Rant Warning
Dont by from "terache atv tires" ordered on Friday 29th asked on Monday. (Did they ship?) "Yes we shipped on Friday afternoon" "but UPS will not/did not scan order". Well LO and BEHOLD! UPS did scan my order when they picked it up from the store. TODAY! Eight days after they claim it shipped!
........Rant over.........

 

Fixed the bad wear spots on the seat pan.

 

The new tires came today...

 

Getting closer to officially calling it alive. Went out for 1/4+- mile down the gravel and no steering problems do to the wider flat tires on the front.
Now to change the oil in the final gear case and hope the aftermarket air filter box gets here and fits.

 

Was thinking about Not changing the oil in the final gear. The cold plays hell with my bum leg. its simple to get down on the ground to do it but getting back up is another story. LOL But am dam glad i did do it.
The water and dirt had some oil in it.

 

Got the back brake shoes on today and was pleasantly surprised. After seeing the oil that came out of the final gear i figured the brake would be full of dirt and rust. Butt all i found was badly worn brake shoes and dust...
