My Weller D650 will melt lead, but solder will work, I would use rosin core instead of acid core solder though. .177 pellets for a pellet gun will work on a Zenith carb. I'm not sure if pellet guns are still around.
Oh yes! They still sell pellet guns. Mine is a squirrel killing machine. bought it after a squirrel did $800 damage to the wiring in my '04 colorado...... I killed about 80 of em' in 1.5 years. just don't let the cops find out.....don't ask
