Personally, as such a safety critical item, I would be looking for a
new replacement for the entire tank.

Unfortunately, that could take some time, since parts for this
obsolete motor are hard to find. I'm just looking for a quick fix
that's quick, cheap and reasonably secure.

You might be able to find a generic tank and tap a new hole into it (or with
a correctly formed outlet already there). Is the tank some weird and
wonderful shape, or would any old unit do?

Christian.

You might be able to reinstate the thread using one of those
whatnots... a metal spiral, forget the name. Or maybe make a ring that
screws in, and the tap screws into that. Etc.

One thing you dont want is fuel pouring out, so I'd make it tough and
secure.
