bajones238 'Bolter B Joined: Oct 2013 Posts: 122 South Carolina	The threads in the carburetor body, where the brass fitting for the fuel feed line attaches, are worn out to the point that I am getting a massive fuel leak. Loctite didn't help. Has anyone here ever successfully repaired the threads in the carburetor body? Any suggestions welcome and appreciated. 1953 Chevrolet 3104 1/2-Ton In the Stovebolt Gallery More pix
