Yep. From the pointy end going up, it should be silver washer, white spacer, clip, washer, spring

Don't miss my float question on the previous page.

Ya know what I did forget this step on the floats this time. And with taking every thing apart probably gona need to be reset again. Ill put the spacers washers back in and reset the foats. But would the cause the bogging down and backfire, this is what confuses me because it clears up. Ok ill let ya know how it goes. One thing at a time.

For the cap..
http://roadstarclinic.com/content/view/136/96/

The rollover valve is in the vent line that hooks to the front right corner of the tank. Follow it to the valve. Mines under the battery, on the left side, zip tied to the frame. If you remove the cover, you'll see it. If you vent the cap, you should be fine.

Re:Pumpless Check List 4 Years, 8 Months ago  
Thanks, also just found the tech article on how to vent he gas cap. 2 questions though

1. Do I need to do both? Remove he roll over valve AND vent the gas cap?

2. Once cap is vented and if parked in garage and can smell fumes, doesn't that mean gas is evaporating ? Fuel loss due to evaporation?
