82 Honda CM450 carb overflow

The pipe inside the bowl had a crack in it. I fixed it and now everything is back to normal.

How exactly did you fix it ??

Solder or a braze weld is about the only good permanent fix.

I've used it. Seems to be good stuff.

BUT I don't think I'd trust it (or any other "glue") in a place where it is submerged in gas (and ethanol) 100% of the time.

I sealed up a fuel tank once with some stuff called "Sea-Goin_Putty". It's an epoxy designed to be mixed underwater and seal up fuel tanks and hulls of boats. I had to use it because my fuel tank started leaking 4 hours before a ride I was going on and I couldn't get a welder on Sunday. I planned to get the tank repaired properly but forgot about it. That tank went a year before it started leaking again. That Sea-Goin-Putty is some good shyt.
