While I was in cloth-braided hose mode, I pulled the charcoal canister from its dwelling within the LF fenderwell to replace the hose running to it from the vacuum management gear just behind the left strut top.
I also refilled the transaxle with Kendall 80/90W. 915's like this dino oil and I'd bought a case from a local distributor, so easier to get this done while the unit is on the bench. With the gas tank and the torque tube in, I suppose the next job for me is to install the transaxle.
Best regards to all, John
