If you do not have to use it again for the fuel level I have used JB weld , if you have any threads left or if the plug will tighten a bit JB weld will work or just buy another bowl.

Would 'form-a-thread" work, or not enough meat on the bowl?

Hey what the ??? where did that picture of the needle/seat hole go ??

I tried form a thread , it didn't work well , I filled the hole with JB Weld and redrilled and tapped , not sure if gasoline with ethanol in it is a place for epoxy , I think a new bowl is in your future ...


running up my post count some more .
