    Tubs, I have no idea how well the silver solder bonded to the carb casting,
    but the brass tube I inserted was threaded into the area just below the
    float pin seat, so the solder was basically to stabilize everything.
    I filled up the float bowl with mineral spirits, and it didn’t leak after an
    hour, but after running the motor, the compression fitting is weeping.
    Hopefully the replacement carb is in good shape, and the fittings all
    come apart!
