Lanse,
I"ll second what Brian says, and add my $.02.
Like most of us, I"ve watched your projects and they usually start with enthusiasm, then frustration because you don"t know what you"re doing, then lots of good advice that you usually ignore, then spending a bunch of money that you could have avoided by paying attention to the good advice above, then you tear it up so you can at least have some fun. None of the above is unusual, as I"d bet most (all) of us have done the same to one degree or another.
Here"s my suggestion for this one: work on one system at a time. Since you know it needs a fuel pump, get a Scout book, figure out which Scout you have, figure out what fuel pump you need after deciding for yourself if it needs a pump, then install it according to the book. Don"t waste your time making videos, taking pictures, doing donuts, none of that. FIX something.
Then get it running. Tune it up, if it"s tunable. Once it runs sitting still, try making it move, AFTER you"ve read the book and figured out what all "those levers" do. Then figure out what the rolling assembly needs. Then fix that.
The very last thing you should do is anything cosmetic. Maybe never. A sleeper is pretty cool in itself.
Anything you don"t understand, ask lots of questions, but take 10 minutes and think about your question before you ask it, whether in person or on this or another forum. Getting a good answer is usually predicated on asking a good question.
