Thanks, Joe, that sounds reasonable. Think what might happen is just run all
the lines as normal and just eliminate the line from the canister to the
now, non-existent Stromberg carb port. The tank would then be vented via the
canister, and all parts would still be available if required in the future.
Would that work ?
