Keihin carb nut. Will devcon work?
« on: September 22, 2014, 08:03:34 pm »
Just found a pin hole leak in the bowl nut on the carby on the cr 80 I am restoring.

Question is where to find a replacement nut?

Or

Has anyone tried devcon on a carb???? Will it hold fuel????

Can be found on eBay, not that pricey. Not worth fixing

Try also "Main Jet Cover" in your search. Should be common as muck, what model carb is it for specifically?
