Looks like that lead plug was in the hole. The plug popped out and my fuel bowl was emptying out into the engine compartment.
Is there a better way to plug that hole? |

JB weld. Seriously. New plug is most likely one of those unabotanium pieces.
The plug is pressed in at the factory I doubt you can replicate it. It will leak agan anyway. The hole is a result of the boring process for one of the fuel circuits. Main gas I think. JB weld is gas resistant. Don't get it inside the hole as it WILL plug the passage and you will then be screwed. |

So I should replace the plug and JB weld it to the outside of the carb? Here's a close-up of the hole. |
