I finally got my 142e running well enough to start to smile while driving it, then it started the plugging-filter-bucking-and-dying routine. Probably only about 30 miles on it (approximate because the speedometer died) and this is the third filter so you can see the amount of rust and sludge from 12+ years of sitting. Fortunately I put an inline filter before the pump but that still is about $7 each.

I located a good tank in New Jersey but I'm in Washington state. Anyone know a way to get a used tank shipped from Jersey to here? Or a source in Washington or Oregon? or someone around Puget Sound area that would clean a tank?
