Z-134 MF 50, one of the float pin supports got broken off. I'm thinking of trying J-B weld or aluminum solder to repair. Can anyone see any harm in trying? Any thoughts on fixing the float pin in place without one support? And finally, if none of the above works, suggestions on where to find a replacement carb or an upgrade that would fit? Thanks for any replies. [Reply]   [No Email]

Chances are it would bind and cause problems. I think I would try t locate another carb. [Reply]  [No Email]

However when exposed constantly to gasoline, JB Weld will eventually soften and let go - even when fully cured. Better to take the casting to a good welder and have him heliarc the tab back on. Or go for a replacement carb. [Reply]  [No Email]

Even then, I wouldn't spend much time on it. A Zenith or a Marvel-Schebler carburetor, either new or used is the way to fix it. [Reply]  [No Email]

It was also available in a cast iron version on those plus Farmall Super A, C, Super C, 200 and 230. Again I don't think it was as popular as some other make carburetors were. Lee [Reply]  [No Email]
