Rusty, any chance you can post some sort of guide for what you did?

Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Ok I guess I have to spell it out. Get some if this stuff
http://www.por15.com/US-STANDARD-TANK-SEALER/productinfo/TSG/
And some of this stuff
http://www.por15.com/METAL-READY/productinfo/MRG/
Follow the directions and glue the post in place with the tank sealer and let dry a few of days. This alone will not be strong enough. The next step is the old concrete and re bar construction method which is where the strength comes from.
Coat the post with sealer and take some the house hold sewing thread and start wrapping it around the glued post but not too thick because the tank sealer must soak into the thread and maybe coat and add more thread and coat again. Let dry the amount that the por-15 directions say too Don't skimp on this.
When you reassemble the carbs you must have the mushroom end of the pin on the unbroken side. Unlike epoxy the por-15 will not be affected by the gas. Dan
I had all the pictures at one time for the procedure, but blew them away.
it's pretty simple, you drill a vertical hole in both pieces (1/16" ?), chuck some brass rod in a drill motor and "turn" it down with a file until the rod is slightly larger than the holes drilled into the broken halves of the post. measure the depth of both holes with a drill bit and cut the "lathed" rod to length.
I'll find another broken carb body and do a write up on it again.
who knows, maybe I'll do like the "mob" and break both its legs.

any idea how much larger the brass needs to be? i can drill a 1/16" hole (0.0625") and just buy some brass that's slightly larger (0.072")
Mcmaster Carr sells 0.072" brass rods for $8.50 per pack of 15!
Perfect! the drill will more than likely make a larger hole than .062 unless it's in a drill press, so you can "lathe" (file), test fit and repeat as necessary.
***edit*** additional thought as per squaredancerlynn1... a brass screw from a hardware store around the same size (.072) cut and use in place of the brass rod.
