    In what is becoming a common theme, I have yet another part giving me hell. I thought my petcock was leaking so I replaced it, only to find fuel leaking out of the weld where the petcock screws onto the fuel tank.

    I'm no welder, but this seems like a tricky fix. Any ideas?

    Can I even find a new fuel tank if I just decide to replace it?

    Very sorry to hear of that, but certainly someone can weld it.

    Good luck and much high sprits and strenght in repairing your china bike!

    Well yeah, in my opinion one needs to enjoy fixing a china bike in order to fix it. If fixing the bike is just a pain, then it does not make much sense to fix it.

    But if you want to learn to fix and mod a bike, then China bike is not that bad core bike for that because you can make a total autopsy for it, break everything into pieces, if you want, not a big loss. I hate to say this because I like motorbikes, but at times it can be better to just move on.
