Hi mod CK and mod BB,

Mod CJ, the serial number reads 45 01563.

Mod BB, it saddens me to read about your miss-fortune...

Is there a simple way that I can determine the HP of my engine? And, is it significant in any way as far as restoration goes (parts etc.)?

Also, I'm picking up an intake manifold gasket, fuel tank gasket and a new pump diaphragm tomorrow but I'm still not sure how I'm going to tackle my gummed up and ruptured fuel pick-up tube (see pics). This part is proving difficult to source and I'm not even sure that removing the pressed in copper tube is a good idea. I had a thought to remove the end cap that is housing the mesh filter and replacing it with a plastic one. Thoughts?

Cheers,

Tony
