I bet JB Weld would make a good custom engine mount, especially for those oval tube frames.......

ummmmmmm.......no it wouldn't.

i think it was sarcasm, note the smiley face

Yes it was sarcasm, hence the " ". Sorry If it was out of line, I thought we were making jokes about JB Weld.

DOOOOOOD..... It happened again!?!? (except this time I found it before the carb broke off.)
I was checking for a air leak, & when I pulled the carb off, two of the little tabs fell off.
I'm guessing it's either a bad manifold or the air filter is too heavy... (or both?)

I'm gonna swap 'em both & keep ya'll posted...

Guess you'd better pick up some JB too.

I did a test on a old carb with a broken tab and jb-welded it to a intake(i tryed chrome and cast grey intake). I let it dry overnight. It lasted around 1 day on my bike and the carb loosened from the intake, i guess the jb-weld does not stick good to our intakes, but it does stick to our carbs and copper pipe.

I guess its good i have 2 carbs,1 with broken tab and one good one.
I guess the broken one will stay in my parts box.

How come no one is selling the new carbs that does not require a intake, i only see them sold with certain kits. Someone please sell them and we will have no more broken tabs.
