Wow thankssss for the quick replay.thank you

 

[Snake]

would some rtv work?

 

[abodyjoe]

why not tread the hole and put a screw in it.. or just keep the golf tee in it.. anything to plug th evap leak.

 

[Snake]

Well I put a little rtv and a self taping screw in it.

 

[abodyjoe]

Don't see why that wouldn't work.

Why doesn't that carburetor have a choke? Kinda crazy that it doesn't since you live in Canada. Even a manual choke would block that hole off, plus, then you'd have a choke.

I never go anywhere near a carb with RTV.

I've used RTV in lots of "fuel situations." You do need to give it adequate drying time, 48 hrs if possible.

"In a previous life" I punched a hole in the side of the tank on my 70 440-6 car. Big Rock. We nursed it to the shop, jacked it up to get the fuel "to the other side" and slathered it with RTV, left it overnight. That was about 1972 and it was on the car when I sold it about 1977 or so.

Let it set for a couple of days, you should be ok.
Not much a fan of RTV around gas, but you are on the air side.
Just check it for a leak next time you start it up... I bet you are good to go.
