    Not too sure

    If this is a motor swap or if this bike is a true arco. Seems odd there is no front suspension but it has rear sus. Cant say I'm familiar with this style shock or recoil handle. Stoked I found such a complete bike for the price of a happy meal. Anyone date the tec for me.

    Plastic mtd fuel tank

    Is there any other way around these tank grommets. It appears like the seam doesn't let the grommet seal the hole completely and i keep getting a minor drip. I've tried two different brand grommets one was a bit harder than the other they were both new and two different barbs.
