That is a lucky saw, it finally made it to good hands. Nice photos. Thanks

I don't know yet. Since even new ones are known to be cracked, it might be repaired. It's a very rigid plastic, and JBWeld is said to do a very nice job repairing them. When prepped for correctly, I've never seen JBWeld fail. I've even used it to repair the crankcase on an ATV!

jb weld won't hold up to gasoline. To weld any plastic, it has to be very clean. You might want to find a plastic fabricator, if you cannot find a new tank. Best of luck.

I've used it to repair 2-stroke crankcases, and even replace the divider between the fuel and oil tanks of and old saw. I've never had it fail.

Maybe some sort of liner can be applied to the inside of the tank?

Stuff a Ziploc bag in it then put mix in the bag

Nik's parish priest will be coming by to give it a blessing. Fireworks are coming, courtesy of Rozzi 's Famous Fireworks. The parade will be led by the Budweiser draft horse team.

is the air force doing a fly over too while the anthem is played.. NASCAR style.

What do you think?

1. Leave the finish as is.
2. Paint with a single stage hardened enamel.
3. Blast and powder coat.

Blast and coat. And it will be good for another 45 years.

Come on now Brad,

How are you resisting cleaning those ports up?

I can see you trembling from here.

VERY cool saw to say the least.

Thats a lot like the suzuki t500's I work on.

This product has worked well for me on saw tanks. Found it at local parts store.

I think they're may have been some of that under the silicone. I think I'll need something more substantial to full the cracks.

This has to be one of my favorite threads ever. I cant wait to see the old beast come together. I agree, at this point definitely get it powder coated.

Is the cover that's cracked Mag or Aloominum?

 

[M&Rtree]

Atleast everything is there and repairable. Going to look great powdered!

I'm sure it's mag alloy.
