Tri-Power carb leak fix
Noticed a drop of fuel on the intake below the rear carburetor and a drop forming at the bottom of one of the pump well plugs. Anybody know if these plugs are available or if there is there an alternative like a small pipe plug that will work? The carb is from a 70 Olds not an original Tri-power

Tim,
I sent Mike an email. I didn't see anything on his site about these plugs. I can get aluminum rivets to replace the old plugs, not sure if I can get by with a press fit or solder or what, but hopefully Mike has the best fix for this. |

If these are the small plugs and you are a fisherman, a small split shot lead sinker may be substituted. Many manufacturers used lead plugs.
Jon.
