Well, today I changed the oil. Had to buy an oil wrench to get the old oil filter off.
Hooked the battery up, and tried to start it.

Turned over, and nothing. (Amazed that the thing sounds like a chevy v8 when turning trying to start.)

Then I noticed the gas gauge..EMPTY!!

Put a half gallon in the tank. Tried to start again and BAMMO!! IT started right up!!!!!!!

The thing ran smooth and quiet. Until my Son asked, Dad, whats that water leak?
CRAP! Gas line sprung a leak. Enough playing for tonight until I can get a gas line tomorrow.
Pics and Video to follow.
