Brass Carb Plugs

I am in the process of cleaning my Edelbrock 600 Predator carb and when I took it apart, a couple of the little round br*** plugs have fallen out. I can push them back in but they won't stay. Is there anything I can bond them in with that the gas won't dissolve or react with ? Thanks

 

would that gas tank repair stuff work?

 

Can't you peen them in?

 

dont know if its feasible for you but on some of the carbs ive overhauled i used a pin punch and dinged a lip at the aluminum/br*** plug seam and folded it over just a small tad in three places they all held fine doing that

 

I tried to peen them back in but they keep falling out, maybe if I try to pinch them in they will stay. Do they have to be completely sealed or is it okay if there is a bit of leakage around them?

 

I never considered JB weld but I think that's a good idea...thanks.

 

go to your local carb rebuilder with the plugs that fell out. they will have new one and they'll peen in.

later jim

 

Okay, I used some JB weld to hold them in and it seems like it is going to be fine..Thanks for the help, this is an awesome site ..
