So I'm trying to fit an 80cc Athena on a Sachs Yardman.
I modified the tank and need to seal it up.
What's the best way to repair?
Frame repair
Re: Frame repair
JB weld judging by the number of bikes with JB welded tanks I get

They must all have used a different JB Weld than I ever used . I've never had it hold for more than a few days before it turns to mush when used near gasoline .
What kind of repair needs to be done ? Just that seam ? If so , have it welded or solder it . (edited)

I'm thinking a tig guy would do the trick

Tig would be what I would suggest. You could also mig that pretty easy.

Ya, fuck the dumb shit, metal repairs deserve metal not bondo or epoxy.

Re: Frame repair
Looks like you just ground down the seam. Have you tried putting liquid in it to see if you don’t need to address it?
Re: Frame repair
Oh yeah. Leaks like crazy.
Soldered it back up. Report back when it leaks
Re: Frame repair
Bexane epoxy used by the Navy on subs. Or ceramic based epoxies sold by Grainger's not cheap but works!
