Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has attempted to repair holed/leaking carb floats with epoxy (araldite) and the success or otherwise if so?

I've tried but yet to put them back on the bike for a test.

Cheers

    ps,

    found the pictured christmas tree in one float bowl, is this likely to have blocked one of the jets or passages :eusa_shifty:

    If it's brass/metal then solder it if it's plastic then use a hot soldering iron to smooth out the hole. Araldite will melt in fuel as OG says. If you put this thing back in the bike then your going to spend the next 6 months unbunging the carbs with a chisel !!
