    Default Tig welding a motorcycle gas tank

    Hey guys, I just finished a mod to a used HD King Sportster tank.
    Nothing major just moving and changing the fuel outlet bung and
    making a different rear mount. Used my new 2013 PowerTig 200DX.
    First off I washed the tank out thoroughly and purged it with argon.
    Anyway, I used the pulser. 1pps, 30% background and 50% on time.
    worked slicker than snail snot!
