Got her all back up and running, for the amount of hassle that stupid ass vacuum pump can give you, I don't even know why they would ever put one on there.
When I drained the oil it was mostly gas, filled up the entire oil pan and then some, ridiculous.

Thank you very much for the help ducpainter, managed to drop my tank while it was off and scuff it up, and it was already in need of a paint job.  Should be back in the states soon, so hopefully will be sending it your way next winter!
Glad to help. That vacuum shutoff has been a problem for lots of people, but I'm thinking some law said they had to automatically stop the flow of fuel when the engine wasn't running and it was cheaper than an electric solenoid triggered by oil pressure.

I should be around.
