    Looking for Phillip Gatzow, I was told he repaired dented Waterwitch gas tanks.
    My email is marc@metcominc.com.
    any info would be appreciated.
    also need the front cover.

    Thank you for the response – so I went out and got some low temp aluminum solder and I am going to give this a try on my own. Watched a lot of videos – will be taking this slow.
    can you recommend a resource for the deals and a front cover and upper dial?

    I’d suggest you use that Waterwitch for a parts motor and get a complete one, perhaps with a better tank. I successfully straightened a ‘witch tank once using air pressure (10psi). and propane torch heat and tapping around the dent simultaneously with a wood handle, with the gas cap vent open to allow some air flow during the process, with an air regulator to maintain 10psi.
    If you use aluminum solder, don’t use it on your tank until you practice on junk tanks first. Results may not be as expected. The solder is very difficult to file or sand. It is also a different color.

    ok where would you suggest looking for another 1937 Waterwitch single cylinder.
    In the mean time the tank is progressing nicely.
    Right now its all I have, and it runs
    Do you know of any decal and handle contacts.
    I have found some decals but they are the wrong year.
    any help or contacts would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Tubs – your the best! Ordered both. Also ordered some 1100 aluminum plate – going to tray and make a from cover.
    I found this Waterwitch in the trash on Upper Greenwood Lake in NJ. The engine is a ’37 and the lake was man made in ’32.
    Thank you.
