I would have never thought that tapping on that would seal it back up. But I definitely would have thought about JB weld. That's awesome that it worked.
This video was good, it was interesting....... but....615 said it was going to be the big announcement about the Annual FORD & Friends picnic BBQ and bake sale.
I knew it.....He got carried away with that carb and his buddy telling him to whack it with a hammer.....he totally spaced on the announcement! (How about those cinnamon rolls? You bringing those?) @@615theBuzzard
Me either. Didnt think there was reason for it too. However, upcoming video, I find out WHY it leaked/can leak. Stupid Holley design... 🤦🏼 Thanks for watching!
Awesome video brother. Thanks for sharing. Very interesting. I learned something new tonight. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an incredible weekend. Much love and RESPECT
Awesome! Glad I could share some knowledge! Bit of a learning experience for me too! Love and Respect back to you, brother Tim! Have a wonderful weekend!
You could say something along those lines...LOL Thanks Dancin! Appreciate you watching, bud! See? I'm trying to get more stuff out. Just means i can't spend so much time watching everyone elses which kinda blows. But- i'll find time!
Mine is leaking the exact same, shooting from the brass plug as well. I was getting ready to add JB Weld then noticed what look likes crystals from the gasket on each side of the secondary. I just emailed Permatex to see what gasket sealer I should use. Hopefully I can complete this repair in the next few days Thanks for sharing this info Merry Christmas and Happy New Years
When you say crystals from the gasket, do you mean the float bowl gasket? Which gasket? You don't want to put sealer on any carb gaskets. It will make them almost impossible to get apart or clean up.
@@bmurphy8946 probably need to replace the gasket. Matter of fact might wanna have a look inside and make sure its not worse inside. If the fuel you use is ethanol based (usually 10%) and it sits a lot, that fuel turns bad rather quickly and turns gel like. Might be crystally if leaked outside the bowl...?
That metal plug actually has a rubber O ring around it. The O ring gets hard and they start to leak, re hammering the alloy around the end of the plug, which is how the plug is held in place, will sometimes stop it leaking but eventually it will start again. You should have just replaced the bowl..
@@Batou-ts9ri thats actually what I wound up doing. But at $60 each, working up a better repair for those plugs/bowls, help save some $$. Should have it up soon. Thanks for watching!
Was this a re-upload or is my mind playing tricks on me? Either way, Great video! That truck is clean, “AF”, as the kids say… Remember to thumbs up, it helps AL Gores rhythm or something.
Ha! No... it was part of the other video, I just broke it into two since it was going long and more a different subject anyways. Hold on to your sombrero, as this isn't the only Dentside I own! This isn't nearly as clean as the other two i've been hiding. LOL Oh- and don't even get me started on Gore! Thanks for watching, Taco!
There is a version of it designed for tanks and whatnot. Testing that theory of theirs. So far still holding but I'm watching closely. Have a better repair in the works anyways. Just trying to secure a good source for the proper part.
@OlysGarage I've found the best fix for this is you can remove the bowl assembly. Take out the float and needle and seat and associated parts. Get the area as clean as possible then heat it with propane torch remove the heat, and then flow soldier into the joint. Might take couple trys, but let it cool put the needle/seat back in and ya can air apply air pressure to inlet side while holding seat closed and test it for leaks under water. If it hold shop air pressure it'll hold 8psi of fuel pressure.
@@timmy.fields it just makes me wonder why they had an o-ring in there in the first place...? Why not do what you just described to begin with? What is that material that holds in the plug? Isn't that solder? I don't really trust the JB weld, thats for certain.
@OlysGarage I think originally it just a gasket material not and o-ring and it's a "crimp" fit. That's why tapping with a hammer can possibly temporarily fix it sometimes. Plus makes sense for speed during the manufacturing process. To soldier from the factory takes way to much time and money. I just know it's a quality fix to soldier it for long term.
@@timmy.fields i don't doubt that. I just doubt my soldering skills! Let me get this new idea put together on a video and I wanna hear your thoughts when I post it up. I'd still like to try soldering, see if I can make that work as that might be easier than what I came up with.

So far so good. Fingers crossed! JB weld and all its uses! Thanks for watching, Robert! Looking forward to more on the Vino Rod!

I’ll be bringing all the baked goods.

@@615theBuzzard We ain't gonna get much done once the snackin on your 'baked goods' gets underway... 🤣🤣🤣
Great work 👍👍 Amazing 👍👍
Thank you! Appreciate it!
Hey brother, that’s a new one, I’ve never seen a float bowl leak like that. Glad you got it fixed. The truck sounds great. 👍🏻👍🏻

@@OlysGarage the crystals are forming on the float bowl gasket between the float bowl and the carburetor on both sides
Thanks for your thoughts 😊

All the carb repairs.
Ugh.... yeah. 3rd times the charm? Stupid Ethanol..
You do realize gasoline absolutely eats JB weld. It will seal it temporarily but then will just let go.
