This morning I made a new gasket from the stock I have. We'll see how it works, it's more hardboard than rubberized so it may be ok. I checked the compression, with the air filter off, engine cold, engine dry and the battery mostly dead it cranked over a few times and gave me a reading of 100 psi. Good enough for me. I fished the pickup strainer out of the bottom of the gas tank and trimmed the tube to sit in a dip in the middle of the bottom so it doesn't curl up and suck air towards the end of a tankfull. Put the rear bumper back on. It's definitely not stock but I didn't get a good look at it until now as the PO removed it when helping me fit the Cart into my semi-enclosed trailer. "Installed" the reflective tape on the sides front and back. Off to the hardware store to get some rivets to replace the missing ones in the poles for the top.
