How to seal hole in carb?

[dbocha01]

had to drill a 1/16" hole in the bottom of my Rochester 2 Jet carb to free a stuck check ball. What is the best way to plug the hole?

we use J B weld to seal the plugs on the bottom of Q-Jets

some kind of gas proof epoxy should do the trick.

I did the same thing, used JB weld..no problems. I also called JB weld to make sure it is compatible with Ethenol gasoline and they said it is.
