Anybody find a glue that will actually reattach the little fuel wells under a thermoquad float bowl? I've tried seal-all which is supposed to work in a gasoline environment but in time just turns into a mess.

Loctite 401, sold at industrial supplies like Fastenal, Granger, etc.

VERY important! It has to be fully cured before fuel contact, I suggest 24-48 hours. Also, don't reassemble the carb or otherwise encapsulate the glue while curing, it needs to vent to open air while curing.

I'll try it. If this works, you've helped a few old carbs back from the grave. Thanks!

I have used regular epoxy glue ( reading on specs is oil products resistant of course ) and that has worked for me.
