Keihin carb fuel pipe fix

(1/2) > >>

Hello, Just managed to pull the Brass fuel pipe connector out of the Keihin carb.  See pic.

Does "super glue" work to hold these things back in.  Not sure if "soldering" would work.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
If it's just a fuel vent pipe I would use a smear of Hondabond.
If it's the main fuel  pipe an epoxy resin like JB weld?

Oddjob:
The originals are soldered, so a resolder should be fine. I’ve cleaned a few of those down to bare metal and when you do it’s easy to see the soldered joint

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Does that mean heating up the carb body Ken or can you just tin the brass part then warm it so it drops into the carb body?

Sounds quite a skilled fix if the solder has to bond fully to the alloy body.

Oddjob:
No that part is part of the fuel banjo Ted, in which case just remove the orings and heat the entire banjo up off the carbs. Tbh it looks like the same part as the 500/550 carb banjos so if it fails I have a spare lying around
