A bit of progress this morning:
Took the exhaust off. Had to cut the muffler off, unfortunately. Oh well. It's still salvageable, if I ever need it.
Then I did some hot-wiring:
...putting power straight to the fuel pump. Nice of them to put the relay right under the hood instead of up under the dash or somewhere else annoying!
I had some 1/4" fuel hose hanging around from another project, so I put it to use.
The PO wasn't lying when he said it had a full tank of gas. Filled up the wife's car (was just over half filled), filled up my '95 Metro (also just over half a tank in it before I started), then had to go fetch my 2.5-gallon jerry-can and almost filled that up before it finally started spitting air out. Should be a lot easier to drop the tank now!
I'll hopefully get around to that tomorrow morn. Think I've had enough for today. Certainly enough gas fumes! I'll go fetch some engine enamel in what spare time I have left today.
Keep plodding along...
