Well, here I am asking for help (again). After a serious battle with the screws I finally managed to remove the fuel valve from the tank. But it looks like a piece is missing from it. It's strange because it wasn't anywhere in the tank. I"m not sure what happened to it. Mine looks like this
and a replacement one looks like this
So am I crazy or am I going to need the replacement? Well, I'm probably crazy. I feel terrible... I'm no help at all for anyone here, but always needing help. Sorry. It doesn't seem like I've made much progress lately, but I have got things ready for the sandblaster, just waiting on him and then I can at least get the bulk of the frame parts painted and reassembled. Then I'll just have the shocks, wheels, brakes, forks, and engine to tackle. (not a tall order at all... ha!)
