I began my annual and this weekend, and started working on the FWF portion as part of an oil change. I pulled the carb inlet strainer and found what I can only describe as "cat fur" in the strainer. It was about 3/8 full of the stuff. I had to use a dental pick to remove it. I don't have a cat, so not sure what it was.
I also had a primer line broken at the the solenoid. It broke right at the flare. I don't use the primer, so I removed it and the plumbing - saved a few ounces. Is there anything better than copper tubing for the primer lines? I have heard only bad things about copper.
Everything else looked pretty good!
