Carburetor Float Bowl Broken Piece
The little piece on the bottom of my r16 carburetor float bowl top that holds the pin for the fuel valve hinge broke off. See attached. What can I do to fix it or where can I buy a new piece? I have a 67.5 1600 and I live in Gilbert, Arizona. Thanks.

If you can't find a replacement, you can try to JB Weld it, it should hold up.

That's a bummer, but at least you have found the cause of a problem. JB weld would probably hold, but parts donor used carbs are very readily available, very reasonably
