good news though, new battery, and gas in a spray bottle and she fired right up and kept running so long as fuel was being sprayed into the carb.

You will need to drill a hole and tap it our put a insert in for the rear mount, the squared off OEM tank has 2 tabs on the frame for screws to mount it, if you lift the tank up you'll see tabs and unable to use them on the newer model tank you have.
