You may find a helicoil kit for the tank thread,you may also find
there is insufficient metal in the tank boss to accomodate . Find out
BEFORE buying the (expensive) kit .

 Rich ,
If you want to send the tank I can make up some threaded bushings for
you .

The Ambo basket case I got last spring is back on the road, started for
the first time in many years last night! It runs quite well and looks
pretty darned good, too. That's the good news.

The bad news is that the gas tank on it is borrowed from my Eldo. The
threads for the petcock on the Ambo tank were stripped so badly that the

petcocks wouldn't seat--anyone know of a way to install some
replacement petcocks?

Oh, and that 4-speed seems awfully sloppy compared even to the Eldo
gearbox. The generator light is also on even though I flashed it.

I think these are mainly minor problems and it sure is satisfying to
have the Ambo our on the highway again.
