ATC Gas tank leak? How to fix seat?

[rockstaradam123]

So i bought a sweet honda 185s today for 350, runs freaking amazing after a new spark plug. So I have a leak in my gas tank, it has some jb weld on it but the gas ate through it, what should i use? Also, almost all of the vinyl is ripped off the seat and needs a seat cover but I don't have any money at the moment? And I would use duct tape for the seat but that will just wear out after a short time. What are some cheap fixes? Thanks!

Duct tape the seat for now. Just keep the foam dry.

You can buy a $20 starter kit and watch my Youtube vids on how to seal a tank for $20.

Here is the first vid

Is there rust in your tank? Or is it leaking from all dented up? I seen JB weld work for fast fix as well.

Welcome to the world of ATC's. I love them. You cannot even buy a minibike for $350.....

I don't have money to spend, sorry but i'm not sure what the leak is from. I just may take the thing off and jb weld the crap out of it. And I'll be getting vinyl for it in 2 days

I may have a tank for that. Let me dig around my pile

I have a tank. Its to am ATC200es I think. Check if it will work or is the same.

Saw the tank buried in my junk pile. Not sure of the condition as of yet. Did have a cap but have not checked for rust or leaks.

couldnt you just use some seal all? or is the leakage to large for that?

 

[rockstaradam123]

Small leak, I probably will use some liquid steel

you could cover it with an old T shirt or something. or black duct tape like i did to my baja warrior.

getting one of these tomorrow for 100, cant wait

You can see if you can get it welded. It's done all the time. The tank needs to be purged with an inert gas while welding. OR.......You can take it to a radiator shop and they can seal it for you. THAT'S done all the time and most shops DO this. Call around.
