Run Ivy Run: Petcock Leak Fixed

So I ran the petcock without the bowl, and could see the leak was clearly coming from down the screw hole.  Cut two "fabric washers" from the carb gasket material and presto, leak gone.

With that done, hooked up the carb directly to the tank.  There's a pretty wicked kink between the filter and the tank.  At first nothing was flowing and I thought it was the kink, but it was just a trapped air bubble.  As I started to remove the fuel line to check it, I must have dislodged the bubble and suddenly everything started to flow.

Took measurements of the battery compartment.
