You are right, the tank I have would be too large. Checked the parts box, and I am again mistaken; I only have one! According to my old records book, I bought the clunker for its fuel tank, gears and and geared axle. Go figure.
If I see an S-1 kicking around at the next sale, I'll snatch it. Flea market was cold turkey today; it's raining on the island today

yeah I had one of those once and couldnt find a tank...so I found a little "trinket" box
painted it black, drilled a hole in it and installed it. Lucky, as it worked perfect. May have to do the same with this one ....Later sold it.
