Nozzle well unavailable Part # 0434398 ??? 1990's 20 to 35 HP and others

[w2much]

I have found my nozzle well has some hairline cracks in it.I would like to replace it, this site and others all say unavailable. I have replaced them in the past but this time I am thinking of an epoxy to get the job done.They certainly do not hold up well in my opinion as I have seen these things and this problem often in the past. Is there a recomended fix or followed procedure for these carburetors which use this part.?

On the 25 ,30 and 35 HP model too or just on the 20 HP models.

I'm stupid. What's a nozzle well ??

It is a wee plastic housing found in float bowl of the late 1980's 6 / 8 / 9.9 / 15 hp carburetors.----Also on the big displacement 30 cubic inch 20 HP in the 1990's models

Used from about 1986 to 1998 on the 6 / 8 hp models at least.----So used for quite a few years.------Beyond me as to why some of these parts are made of plastic.---Beyond me as to why they are now NLA.----Maybe try FLEA BAY or AMAZON for this stuff.

For a fix, might investigate fuel proof epoxy -- hobby shop might be a source.
