Just picked up a Fleetwin in good running condition, new water pump, coils, etc but I hear air leaking out of the fuel fitting and a few bubbles from the gasket around the top of the pressure tank. Are there any how to guides on how to rebuild these things? I want to rebuild the fitting and put new gaskets and seals in the tank. Just never done one before so I don’t know where to start

This is a pretty straight forward process. I would take it apart first to see what you need. Sometimes they are just dirty.

Take some pics of the check valve placement and have at it.

I think I’m more worried about breaking the fuel fitting than anything. It looks like the tank itself just has a bunch of screws. I didn’t notice before but the primer button is broken off, does anyone sell replacements?

You could place a Wanted to Buy ad for the push button parts and there are a few guys have rebuild kits:
