I put Teflon tape on mine but I don't think it did anything. I'm pretty sure gasoline eats it. Just make sure that the plastic screen that goes inside the tank hasn't dry rotted. It's about the size of a lipstick maybe? The "reserve tank" straw goes up inside it. The plastic becomes brittle after a while and may break or the screen can get fouled. The rest is just obvious stuff, make sure the threads are clean both inside the tank and on the petcock. Hook the vacuum hose up carbs and you're good to go.
