    Chip near float bowl - issue?

    I was cleaning my carbs in a big plastic bowl of hot water and tiny amount of mild dish soap and fine tooth brush to find this happen to one of them:


    Is this going to hinder anything? I have brand new gaskets and it seems to still create a seal.

    Since the broken off section isn't part of the sealing surface, it should be fine...

    However, cleaning carbs in a bowl of hot water with dish soap isn't going to unplug any of those tiny internal passages. You need to dip them proper in a can of carb dip if you want them to operate correctly.
