New 2002 Owner, I have so many questions

[ADDvanced]

Thanks, that should help.   No, it still hasn't started yet, but I haven't been to the car in a few days.  Will be going next weekend for a thrash session, adjust valve, vc gasket, brakes, diagnose no start, alloys, few other goodies

Gotta say, as a car person coming from a lot of other forums, it's kind of stupid you guys don't have an organized FAQ.  I mean....for comparison, here's my UrS6 Faq:

You guys need something like this, it makes finding information WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY easier.

 So just tryingt o understand; how is the parking brake supposed to retract, after engaging it?  That wimpy little spring on the ebrake cable?

[jimk]

When the cable pulls on that nice shinny cad plated lever arm, it uses that crusty, rusty cross piece for fulcrum.  In that crusty cross piece is a spring that is not shown in the photo except for its end sticking thru the hole in the shoes.  It pulls the shoes inward and the shinny arm retracts.

Alright gents, time to get back on this thing.   Fuel flow is very weak, car is hard to start.   Suspecting fuel lines....   does anyone know the specs of the primary fuel lines from the tank to the carb?  What size?  And how many feet I need?

 

TIA, going to search the forums to see if this info is already on here.

As far as your blinker issue is concerned, always have somebody looking at the blinkers when trying to diagnose the problem.

 

"Is it working now?"
 

"Yes.  No.  Yes.  No.  Yes.  No."   

 

I recently installed the NAPA EL13 flasher and love how audible the clicking is.  I left it dangling down under the dash so I can look at it and smile.

We discussed fuel line in this recent thread.  The biggest/most obvious problem shows right there in the photo caption below.  (The missing plastic sleeve on the tank sender nipple).

Update:

My hard start problem has been solved. 
I want thank everyone, especially Tom who have spent so much time in helping me fixed the problem.

Tom, I took your advice and  replaced all the fuel lines with new hoses. I can now see fuel in the plastic line in trunk which I didn’t see before. And it started right up at the first turn of the key.

Thanks again and my best regards
