RE: Convertible filler plug?

[62pluckedchicken@xxxxxxxxx]

oops.. call me wrong way Bob... I did this with the carb as well :)

OK so is this the filler plug?

 http://www.frappr.com/?a=viewphoto&id=5591207&pid=10963106

also the area under the cylinder is dry.. but the paint is gone just 
below the cylinder

I run my finger under the pump but could not feel any mounting nuts or 
screws, it feels like the end of a rubber grommet.. How is the pump 
mounted?

If you how to fabricate a tool to keep the mess down, that would be 
great... there is a tool on the market for $42, but that seems like a 
lot for something that I'll only have to deal with maybe once every 2 to 
5 years (I hope)

Thanks a bunch,
Bob
