Default finally got some work done

i finally dropped the tank and got started on my walbro install, today.i did some trimming in the bucket, because it looked like it had been done in some pics, but i dont have it to where it will sit down far enough to hold the screen, a little more trimming, ill be securing it with 2 zip ties, i was also thinking of reusing the factory bendy straw looking hose, looks like a few have done this. i saw on where it looked like the guy went to circle k and bought him a jug that came with on of those straws. ... why shouldnt it work. let me hear it. also, i think cutting and splicing together tubing is unneccessary, somebody tell me if ive missed something.

got it all put together, reused the factory tubing, i just heated it up a bit with a lighter and had some lube on the nozzle, slid all the way down, and i put a clamp on it. all i have left to do is solder the wires . as far as the pump goes. a lot easier than i thought, hope it lasts
