[AT] Pony Carburetor

[Grant Weir]

Hi Carl,

    That's a neat technique for rust-proofing the float bowl.  Do you think 
that lacquer could do a decent job of keeping the rust down in a gas tank?  
I opened up the bottom of my tank and sand blasted the inside clean.  I then 
soldered on a new bottom and it does'nt leak, but it did get rusty quickly.  
Maybe this lacquer idea might help.
