Repairs Lawn Boy with leaking gas tank

The only bad thing about solder is my lawn-boy has a plastic shroud so solder won't work

As I said years ago I used solder, this would have been in the early 60's. I would never use solder with all the new gas tank repair products out there. For one thing you had to use high heat with solder which wasn't safe. Don't even think about using solder and I am sorry I even said anything about it. Just go to any auto parts store I they will set you all up with what you need for this repair and it will be safe to work with. Just make sure the spot that you are repairing is clean and dry. As being clean down to the bare metal with no paint or rust. If the leak was caused from stress on the tank make sure you repair that also or it will just happen over again.

I repaired a cracked gas tank on a 8232 with jb weld, works fine

JB weld is something I have in my shop all the time. Yes it would be very good to repair your tank plus a lot of other uses. Just a little slow drying but very strong when cured.
