I have a pair of HIF carbs and know that the over-run valve can be removed and the hole soldered up.
Any suggestions how to do this? I'm OK with soldering plumbing, but this type of application is obviously much different.
Torch or soldering gun? (afraid of applying too much heat and warping plates)
Electrical or 50/50 lead/tin solder?
Blob it on with a flat surface underneath, or just keep building up the solder and filing or sanding off?
Any way to ensure that the solder doesn't loosen up and get swallowed or leak?
Any ideas are appreciated, Thanks
