1986 suzuki sp200 dirt bike gas tank help?

Question

i wanna buy a 1986 suzuki sp200 dirt bike, but the gas tank rotted out cause its made of metal, and from the pictures the seller sent me it looked like he grinded off the rotted out part but its on the bottom of the tank, and im not a mechanic or anytin so i dont know that much about them, but i do know that it has to hook into the engine somewhere, i found a diagram of wat the tank should look like online but idk, and i would jus buy a new one but there expensive and there hard to find, i was jus wonderin if someone could tell me excatly wat goes to the tank, like wat i need for the tank to be hooked up to the engine properly

Answer 1

if you included the picture,we could give you an answer

ok,thats better....lol

go to any bike shop,even a wreckers,get a fuel petcock,(on/off gas switch)then take everything to any metal fabrication shop/welding shop etc.they will drill out the tank and weld a bung onto it,so you can install the petcock,sounds complicated,but its not,shouldnt run you much either

hope this helps
