Make sure you keep your muffler tight. I apparently used the wrong loctite b/c 1 of the screws popped out & the muffler rotated & burned a tiny hole in the oil tank. Don't make the same mistake. Now I am trying to figure out how I can get the oil tank clean enough so JB Weld will stick to the plastic.

Use brake clean spray. The good stuff not the green can. Then rough the area around the hole with coarse sand paper, wipe down with acetone and use JB Tankweld to plug it. Take your time. As the most important part is preparation of the area that needs fixin. Any idiot can kneed up a stick of JB and smear it on a hole. Prep is the key to a decent job that will last.
