Fixed!?!?!?!
I think I may have got it fixed by replacing the o-ring for the vac sensor in the filter base!! (fingers crossed) Replaced that yesterday and it started right up this morning on the first turn.

Update
AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! It's STILL being a pain to start the first time of the day! 
I don't know what to do now........ I can't have it being this way as the weather keeps getting colder and I NEED it to run right.......
For those that wanted to see the new wheel covers on it that I got in the mail yesterday though.......
I still need to cut the centers out of the 2 for the front.......

Fuel lines
Well I replaced the fuel lines that run along the rail between the tank and engine compartment. It starts alot easier now....... It still has some small bubble show up in the return line, and it had a good size bubble in it before I started it, but it's ALOT better than what it was before.......

Fuel System
AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! 
: :
Trying to figure out where the air was getting in my fuel system, I decided to replace all the rubber hose on the suction side of the system..... So I dropped the tank to replace those hoses, and end up breakin the line on the sending unit for the return line about halfway off... So I tried using some JB Weld to fix it until I can buy a new fuel tank and sending unit.....
Well that didn't work.... It decided to stay broken (maybe it got a little too cool overnight for the JB to set up good) so I just break the loose part off the rest of the way so I can just slide the hose on further up the tube, and all seems good......
So I get the tank wrestled back into place and bolted back up and start it up..... Seems to run pretty good for a couple of minutes then starts sputtering and almost dies before I can hit jump in and hit the throttle. Got it to somewhat idle so I could get out and check the clear hose I have on the return line and it looks like a shook up soda in there..... so I shut it back off and start looking for the problem and guess what?................. apparently the 20 year old metal fuel lines couldn't handle a little movement back at the tank...... the tank is wet with fuel coming out of a hole I can't see in the return line.......
Looks like I'm replacing all the steel fuel lines now (stupid rust)........... I think I can get them off and back on with out dropping the tank again ( I think I left those hoses long enough)........... If I have to drop the tank again I'm just replacing it and the sending unit too........ so yay more money I have to spend that we don't really have/want to........

Fuel System
Well I think(hope) I found where the air was getting in the fuels system. I took the fuel filter base off and took it apart to clean it up and see if any seals needed to be replaced. After taking the airbleed and drain screws out I saw some dirt or something of the sort on the end of the screws that seals in the end of their bore, cleaned that off and checked for leaks. No leaks found so I put it all back together and so far so good...... the real test will be starting it tomorrow......
