Drilled out (welch?) plug in carb?
Murf:
I like it it’s doing the job, it’s plugging up the hole.
As long as no air or fuel can get past it and it’s not blocking anything important, then I can’t see it is doing any harm.
I guess it’s just another example of POs interesting repairs😂
Could be worse they might have used chewing gum.

Strangely enough ..... I started work in a summer job years ago for a small plant hire company, the owner of which plugged rusty fuel tank holes with just this and it is resistant to petrol :) pretty effective and durable too.
He moved like and wore a hat like David Carrdine character in King fu .... one of my learning "grasshopper" moments in life ;D

I've heard this about soap.

Horrible to chew that though ... soap that is :)
Orcade-Ian:
The chap who delivers our heating oil, always has a bar of soap in the cab. If a customer has a leaking tank, he rubs soap on the leak and it stops instantly. We had a leak at the outlet joint on ours and I tried it and it worked. I was then able to pump the tank nearly empty into an IBC, fix the leak and put the oil back in - all 800 litres of the precious stuff.
