Haha, I have to admit I have had tried to seal a briggs and stratton float bowl that way, and I couldnt figure out why the carb kept getting gummed up. I have to admit, carbs are my weak point, I understand the basics and the use of a venturi, main jet, a float and bowl, but anything more I start to get confused. See if you can snag a Weber from the scrap or salvage yard, hell the scrap yard is my second home, I snagged some good parts there for cheap, I got a clutch, sport cluster, dash clock, bed light, marker light, tail light, flasher and headlight control, window regulator and a sliding rear window for 35 or 40 bucks all together, now salvage yards are a little more spendy, I got a drivers side window for $30 after talking the guy at the counter down from $45. But remember not to limit your search to only Mitsubishi pickups, look at rangers, vw's bronco II's, small ford chevy or dodge cars and trucks, Isuzus, or anything with a 4 or a small 6 cylinder.
