I have tin plated my complete fuel tank from the out side surface, plus fill the emblem depressions
with tin (after removing the emblem holders) and some very little dents before i sealed the inner tank surface with POR15.
I have used a little bigger (550 Watts) soldering iron.

Did the tin hold up?

Looks like the larger hole that I repaired still has a tiny leak. Going to get some POR15 to seal the tank from the inside. Two steps forward, one step back.

Got tires mounted and swapped. Shimmed the cush drive since it was loose.

Quick spin around the block. It sputters when it gets warm and under load. Need to check timing and carbs.
