Re: Crack in Carb
I say "If it runs and you need it......Ride it!!". I would look into replacing that part though.

Re: Crack in Carb
I'll third the JB Weld suggestion.
If the surface is nice and clean, the JB Weld should last quite some time.
You can get a new carb for $22 from Dax. Honestly though I'd look into finding a better carb for replacement....

Re: Crack in Carb
jb weld will hold FOREVER! that is your best bet...I've already used some of that on my clutch pin cover. it gets lots of vibration and heat, and is solid as a rock!

Forever is long time, not a big fan of vapour leaks!
