    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.

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

    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

      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..

    You do realize gasoline absolutely eats JB weld. It will seal it temporarily but then will just let go.

    • @OlysGarage
      @OlysGarage  11 месяцев назад

      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.

    • @timmy.fields
      @timmy.fields 11 месяцев назад

      @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.

    • @timmy.fields
      @timmy.fields 11 месяцев назад

      @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.

      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.
