Jonatsun Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 so i was rebuilding my carb (hitachi dch 340) on my 79'. after finishing up and installing it i turn the key, first start its up and running smooth enough but tuning will be needed. i look at my fuel nipple inlet and its spraying fuel, i kill the car and immediately take a further look. I see a hair line crack/puncture from installation. Call up my local auto part scrap yard and they dont have that hitcahi in stock, i call up other auto stores and they cant help me out. Is there a way i can fix this? i thought about soldering the hole shut, i dont know if a patch would be feasible? what does ratsun suggest? Quote Link to comment

flatcat19 Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 JB weld. Going to an industrial hose supply maker. Scouring the junk yards. Not jacking other threads for your own benefit. Quote Link to comment
