Today I finished cleaning/replacing fuel lines, replaced the choke control, installed a new fuel pump, and reinstalled the carb. It took a couple of tries, but I got it running I let it run long enough for the low air buzzer to stop and called it a day. (got dark)

I'm sure gassers are are supposed to be quiet, but you probably need an intact exhaust for that.

I think replacing the sending units/gauges is next along with fine tuning the carb

Great! I assume by the fact that you made it back to post means that it stops too.

well...
actually it has no working brakes(service or emergency), but that is pretty high on the list .

Are you still using an intank fuel filter or did you splice one into the line near the carb? My gasser was set up with an inline filter and a electric fuel pump. I installed a new mecanical pump, just have to run new lines from the tank to the pump. My truck moves too.. same problem, no brakes *L*

just the one in the tank for now. I'll probably put another inline between the shutoff & pump soon.
