Fuel shim

Well I just finished my shim and must say it is worth the time to do. Sounds better and feels better, but it was a short ride. For those that do this, the pics make the shims seem larger. I could not find a bolt in my shed small enough to work. So you would go the Lowes up the street and buy one right.......too smart for that. You take what you have and grind the hell out of it!! Anyway, it worked. Next project is the in tank mod.

$35, I like the sound of that. I have been looking at the kit for $115 that also comes with a prepump filter, but they are out of stock. Do you have a link for a DIY job?
