Re: 97 carb
There were corrosion pits in the lower 1/2" of the well.
The sleeve is in and the slot cut down to original depth. Looks good to go. I will try to post pictures when it is finished. Bruce Works good Lasts long time |

Bruce Works good Lasts long time This is what happens when people use 97's to collect rain water for their indoor plants... If you're successful with the repair - and willing - I might send you a few from my bonepile.

Re: 97 carb
Cleaned up everything, and reassembled. From the speedway master 97 rebuild kit
I was unable to use; jets needle valve and seat Accelerator pump $43.00 for gaskets? Its all good. Starts good, runs, and does not leak. Bruce Works good Lasts long time |

Re: 97 carb
Jut saw your post and you are right on the money cmbrucew the brass works great for a long term fix.Its harder than the die cast and easy to machine.

Fordestes I don't remember. but I did put a light cote of locktite on before pressing in. Much easier to buy a body from Uncle Max. Bruce
