Gas Tank Mount for H50

#1
I bought a H50 for my Barris build. At the time I didn't realize there were several different 5 hp motors and now I am stuck trying to make this one work. its a NOS H50 that has never been run and came in the original box so I'm using it. My problem is that I need to mount my gas tank to it. I have several gas tanks that I have collected over the last year but unfortunately you can see they will not fit within this frame.

Is there a mount that was made to make the gas tank sit even? do I need to just have one made?

All tank mounts for the H50 are going to be too tall for your frame. They did make one with the small tank like usually seen on mini bikes but they did sit higher, reason is due to carb placement-the tank has to sit higher than the carb bowl in order for fuel to flow.

they are a needle in a haystack but Stellar DID make a tank for that frame design and would be a cool addition if you could score one. I know Barris didnt use them at least on catalog/brochure bikes, but they didn't use Tec H50 either :wink:

you can see them in this photo/add:

So i disassembled the bracket and lightly sanded it. not a single number stamped on the thing. I will look up my engine today when I wake up. If i forget send me a pm.
