    Gas leaking out of the carb

    95 Johnson Faststrike. What is purpose of the hole in bottom of bowl on the carbs that looks like it has some kind of check valve in it(steel ball). It looks like mine have silicone over all of them but the bottom carb. The one that is hard to reach. I have gas pouring out of it. Thought about putting a little JB Weld on it since the silicone is not gas friendly. Any suggestions guys?

    Nephew did that on his 95 Faststrike and it held til he sold it 5 years later. We pulled the bowl and did it inside and out..... Hope this helps.

    Thought it would. Just checking to see if anyone else has done it. Why is it there in the first place?

    I haven't a clue on that one, mabye one of the mods can tell us. Be sure to clean it good inside and out and rough it up as much as possible with sandpaper to help the JB do it's job.
