I'm from Atlanta too. There should be a drain on the bottom of the gas tank.

SHOULD being the key word there. I'm not the biggest EK guy here. IM Trey here and he might be able to help. He's from Atlanta too.

$140.00? Kick-***!

I just looked in my Helm manual. There is a drain bolt on the bottom of the tank. When you put it back in torque it at 36 lb ft
