I'll look for it.
The break is in a tough spot and I'm afraid it will be asking a lot of any product as the repair will not bridge between two surfaces.

The idle setscrew was siezed and wouldn't move. I drilled it out with no damage and tried a screw extractor to remove it.
Couldn't believe how little torque snapped off the tab.
I don't usually force things so this break came as quite a surprise!

For now I am adjusting the idle for the rear carb with the adjustment screw that activates the bowl vent. Works ok and I'll bet it will be fine, but I would still prefer to adjust the idle with the setscrew that is meant for the idle.
