I have a leak where the brass tube meats the aluminum body.
Should I remove to reapply epoxy or should I just epoxy the joint?
Thank you.

I don't think I can remove the brass tube without damaging something.
It is part of the fuel to starter jet. Not the end of the world if it leaks since the 3 other carbs are OK but I still want to fix it.
JB Weld or I have some grey Permatex gasket maker. JB Weld should make for a nicer fix.
I could try sucking air form the fuel tube and try to suck the JB weld as much as I can in the gap but then again I might suck to much in and block the tube.Last edited by Guest; 06-01-2015, 07:41 PM.Comment

Got it fixed by adding Permatex grey gasket maker and standing it up to let the Permatex leak into the crack and it worked.
I then removed the excess gasket. Tested it with 150lbs psi of air pressure and it did not leak.

I don't know if you are being sarcastic or genuine
. Taken with a Sony Xperia SP nothing fancy.
Any way I removed the extra grey gasket. I used a tooth brush to remove the hard to reach places after the picture was taken.

Most folks have the camera focused on the floor, have no where near enough lighting, etc, etc. Your pics are very good at showing what we need to see. I hope the fix lasts!

It's nice when people come back to report how they SOLVED a problem as well as identifying it in the first place.
And with clear crisp photos as well..!
