I've asked this before but maybe there's new ideas out there.

I was cleaning this carb a year ago and broke one of the posts that the pin the float rides on goes through. It broke right where the hole is. Unfortunatly the pin will work itself out of the remaining post and the float won't work. I tried JB Weld but it kind of disolved after a year, I even ran it out of gas to keep it dry.

Any ideas on how to secure that pin to the broken post?
 
If you take your smallest drill and make a hole below the pin perpendicular to the pin you can use a piece of wire around the pin to secure it. This should solve your problem. HTH Sam
 
That brings back a memory: Back in the 80s when I was studying Auto Mechanics in the Tech School, my Uncle wanted me to rebuild the carburetor on his Volkswagen. (Don't know the model, it was not a Beetle.)

When disassembling it, I broke one of the float stands off it. My instructor sent me down to the welding shop with the casting to show it to the chief welding instructor. Over the course of the next hour and a half or so, he built the missing post back up, I don't know what material he used, cut it to size with a dremel tool and drilled a hole for the float pin.

And it worked until my uncle sold the car.
 
Billy, it's a Yamaha EC5000dv with a mikuni 17A-14501-12 Carb. Pricy if you can find one

Sam, the posts are kind of flat, so trying to drill parrallel holes would be imposible without weaking the post. I was thinking of the drilling idea.

I don't know you'd build up white metal.

Thanks guys.
