Is in that location whatever way to repair a small hole forth the seam in a brass carburetor float without soldering? I know JB Weld nor Devcon do non hold upwards well in gasoline, but what about 1 of the gas tank sealers that are not affected by alcohol such as Gold Seal?

About the only real way to fix that trouble i a new float. I have never had any luck with soldering i up or other way of fixing them considering it adds weight to the float which is turn makes it sit heavy and not piece of work correctly.

You lot could try Mechanic'south Seal-All. I have used it on a leaky gas tank on a motorcar. It lasted for years. I don't know how it volition piece of work immersed in gas but it's a inexpensive fix and tin't hurt to try.

Solder it or get a new float.

Remove the solder from a little spot on the bladder (many have it equally that'south how they brand them) which will let air in and out as you and then do the seam. Then end up with a quick spot on that hole.

I agree 100% with Mike'southward post just will also add that usually where there is i hole/crack at that place will be more close behind. Sometimes it's a product of being cheaply made and sometimes merely bouncing around a lot of yrs or being dropped. If you do become a new 1 don't just buy the cheapest ane on east-bay. As well wherever you purchase locally, look it over good to make sure information technology isn't one of them with little "stretch marks" all over it from the stamping process. They aren't far from cracking. I have never seen one leak on the solder seam.
