What's wrong here?



(The black flies were really really REALLY bad....)

Anybody else got something to share to make me feel better?

 

Oh my! That brass part is supposed to be solid, ain't it?

Looks like you were aiming at the pilot screw plug but got a little off with your aim...

 

 

Aim was great - just picked the wrong target. The bugs were so bad I was going mainly off memory and in too big a hurry, with only a quick glance at the very dark pic on the DJ sheet. After getting quite a deep hole going there, a second longer look at the pic led to the OH GAWD. I can see daylight thru there into the carb bore, thru a tiny hole. Ended up jamming the DJ screw in the hole for now for a test run:



Will likely try to find some epoxy or something to fill it in with. Would like to find a cutaway showing carb passages though to see how much damage I really did. On the bright side, I was real happy with how it ran after all that - did the snorkle too. Once I got the right plug out, I found the screw was turned in all the way.

Still can't believe I did that...

 

ouch....

 

JB weld here you come!

Perhaps you can find a used carb.
