i am running the vgas setup, and last fall i somehow knocked the velocity stack out of the base on the right rear carb with my knee.
when i removed the base of that stack i found that rear mounting "point" for a better word [raised circle of the carb body that the base ears sit on, and are threaded to hold the bases on] broken off, and fell out when i removed the base.
i picked it up and saved it, and when i got the stack replaced on my existing base, i figured i would just use a little jb weld to reattach the raised circlular guide or whatever its called, and thats what i did, and its been sitting for three weeks, but when i went to put the repaired stack on the carb the circular piece just popped off [the jb weld not holding at all] .
i went ahead and installed the stack with the "good" mounting point, but i am afraid if i bump the stack with my knee it will pull the only one left off too.
is my only option to get a replacement flatside body, and put all my other carb parts on it? anybody else had this issue with a carb body, kehien or otherwise??
no pics at the moment but if anyone needs any i can get some in a few days, garage is crowded at the moment with a new atv [rubicon] that im in the process of putting a winch on.
thanks
