Ebay rebuild kit....some differences

[Wez_]

Ok, so i tested the bowl with the broken drain screw, and there was a steady drip coming from the small nipple on the bottom of the carburetor. Nothing from the drain screw. Does this make sense?

 

[everready]

Yes, that makes sense. That's the way the drain screw works. Think of it as a valve.
You need to replace that drain screw. Did you test all of them?

 

[Wez_]

Yes, tested the other bowls. Only the bowl with the broken tip leaks.

Can be screw or the bowl seat for it.

Can be screw or the bowl seat for it.

That's a good point. Swap the bad screw with a known good one and see if that same bowl still leaks.

It shouldn't, the tips corrode off and normal. The actual seal part is the blackish discolored ring further back, the contact hit.

And how much do they really get used??? One could make that one an outboard carb location and simply glue the threads up with epoxy to never drain it like most carbs are.

This option sounds great. Would either gorilla glue 2 part epoxy or jb weld work? I have both.

JB is better, the fuel won't cut through it nearly so quick.
