Here's a question...
A 'friend' who claimed he was a dab hand with motorcycles was 'doing me a great favor' with tapping out a float pivot pin that had mushroomed out at one end. The bastard wasn't going anywhere. My genius idea was to file the end down so it could easily slip through but, unfortunately, my friends bull in a china shop touch with a hammer has cracked the tower just below the pin. When I say cracked - the end is literally hanging off.
Has anyone ever heard of this happening with a successful repair or should I just start looking for a new carb? I was thinking about a resin as it's only a pivot point?
