Al,
Did you see how they recommend using sealer on the Welch plugs but don't tell you what kind of sealer to use. Maybe cause nothing really holds up anymore? I am tempted to try epoxy on one I am sure is leaking. The Zama is noted for them leaking.
I never popped the plugs out of a carb,never needed to .
The old stand by for welch plug sealer ,ready for this ---fingernail polish .Nothing besides acetone will touch it . Pink ,red ,clear doesn't make any difference .
Zama puts a sealant on at the factory that turns gummy and leaks. I forget the model that uses an irregular shaped Welch plug. That one is most troublesome.
I kid you not about the fingernail polish .Tear apart any old HL Tilley and most of time you will find some .
It was used for a bunch of stuff before red Loc-Tite was ever made or even thought of . Oh you can use all types of sealants ,some work some do not .
Three things that will almost always work are Permatex number 2 ,Indian head gasket shellac and fingernail polish . "Old School " has been around longer than me .
