Re: Carb kit for big twin
Shellac was what they used to seal the cork with - that's the old school sealant. Problem is that alcohol augmented fuels will dissolve it. Model airplane dope is pretty popular for sealing old corks, but PVC plumbing cement works well for me (MEK based). Thinned epoxy is another possiblility but it seems to me that modern gas makes epoxy soft so I wouldn't trust it.<br /><br />Just a FYI. I've heard a few people here say they got cork floats with their new kits but usually it's the black plastic one. With the price of cork being what it is, I doubt you'll see any newly manufactured cork ones.<br /><br />Good luck with the 30hp!
