Hello forum, I have a 71 650 with carburetors that have the fuel bowl screw threads stripped. I am thinking about filling with JB Weld, then drilling and re-tapping new threads. Does anyone have any experience with JB Weld on a small hole? An alternative is to find replacement carb bodies. My only concern is that another old carb may have the same issue. Is there a replacement carburetor that would fit the 71 XS1B as a direct replacement? I have seen new Mikuni round slide 34MM carb kits, but they all say they are for newer models.
