Ok, so when I tried to make my new doors for my choke slides it turned out to be a bigger challenge than I thought. So I used some Gorilla epoxy glue and epoxied the holes shut. It's holding well right now, but I won't know for some time how well it works when starting because I am acid cleaning/lining the fuel tank and won't be attempting to start it for a few days due to some other work. Thanks though for the help everyone.
