on a small 4stroke 4wheeler my friend has, he has a small crack in the case, it will run but shoots out oil. can this be fixed with JB weld? its worked pretty well on a leaking gas tank i fixed

its put back together now, its a 300 ex gas tank, and this ones metal not plastic but i think it would work better on plastic. theres a welded seam on the bottom that leaked and i put just a little bit on after i drained the tank and its held up. fixed it in december been rode hard and never leaked again.

hey, knoxy? u ever play the game MX vs. ATV unleashed? theres a badass yfz. it has blue plastics, an orange frame and orange hubs. coolest 4wheeler ive ever seen, u said u were open to suggestions so theres my two cents. pc the frame orange itd look sweet

the yellow really had to grow on me.. i would prefer the blue... but you dont see too much of these around so it makes me feel unique. lol

i am prob going to powder coat the frame this winter... all black rims.
the yellow... may or may not stay.. we'll see! lol

thanks for the input.. i have actually seen that quad. you are right that thing is sexy!

take care!

JB Weld will work really good as long as it's just a crack and not a big hole.
