Woo! A whole new set of problems!

I thought about that, but what about removing the pin after making the post? I work at a hardware store, so I know all about epoxies and things. I was thinking JB Weld would do the trick when I first looked at it. But, again, pin removal?

Maybe put a blob of JB Weld on there (hang it upside-down so the blob won't slide away), then drill through it for the pin hole and shape it as neccessary. Maybe a few applications of JB will be required to get enough height?

I did that years ago on a damaged carb. Worked for awhile, then the gas softened and dissolved it (pinhole in the bowl). With all the alcohol in gas now, it would probably dissolve even more quickly.
I use different epoxy mixes for all sorts of repairs, they work in most instances (JB Weld is fixing a cracked exhaust manifold on my Jeep presently), but I have a hard time getting them to work well in strong solvents, which is what today's formulation of gasoline is.

I found a site that will rebuild the carbs and whatnot for you. They'll also fab up the post for $50. They said they use marine epoxy. I have my dad bidding on thos ebay carbs, if I don't get those and this place I checked out doesn't have a carb for a reasonable price then I'll just get some marine epoxy from work and try to fab up the post as best as possible.

I found a set that'll work for my bike, but I won't have that much cash for about a week and the auction ends in 3 days.

I'm gonna try calling up some of the salvage yards around here. I have all the rebuild parts, I'll just clean up the new carb and put all the parts I bought into it.

Try Cycle World on Rivers Ave. Used to be Cycle Salvage. Ronnie has all kinds of stuff.
