Carb Cleaning Gone Wrong was created by peachc
Well, I finally got to my last carb to clean/dunk/and rebuild, but when I went to take off the float bowl, the center stem broke off . The carbs are off of a 80' KZ750LTD, Keihin...My question now is, is there anyway to salvage/buy a replacement or to just get a new bottle bowl? I really don't have the extra $$ on this project to get a junk set of carbs to just take a small piece off of, so any advice would be great.

Thanks Again, Like always! ;)

the center stem ?

Do you mean that brass overflow tube which sticks up from the bottom of the bowl ? If thats what you broke then check out a hobby / model building store. They usually have thin brass tubing in a variety of sizes and you just might be able to either solder one in place or use some JB weld the attach it.
