10 Ton Carb Cracked ? Best Fix

You might try JB Weld a two part material in a tube that most hardware stores sell & I,d get the 24 hour drying time type rather than the quick set. You mix the two materials 50-50 & mix them well & apply it then. There is good instructions on the packet. Even Wal-Mart sells it too.Surface where you apply the mix needs to be cleaned well & sanded lightly to get good bare metal.

Silver solder it. Just make sure to remove anything that will be damaged from the heat (gaskets, O-rings etc)

I too would opt for the silver solder with one of those micro flame torches like a jeweller uses,have a look at the carburetor offered on ebay to see if its the same as yours,it says its a Kingston L-3-L

Another vote for JB. If you can vee out the crack, so much the better.

Thanks for the comments, pictures follow.

Was considering JB Weld or Quick Weld. Thought that heat may make the crack worse, but with the a very small heat source and silver S it could work well without additional damage.

Thanks to all.

If that's the part that's cracked in the last picture it does not look like brass but metal,it even looks like it got rust on it,if its metal I would braze it with a low heat.if it is brass I would still opt for to solder.

Is brass, just crud where we were running it - have not cleaned it up yet.

If JB Weld or Quick Weld will work, I may use that fix for now, since it needs to be at a show Aug 22-26. After that it will be going back in the barn, and then do your SS fix over the winter.
