Green loctite will fix a loose press fit, and gas will not eat it. Red will work with gas also.

Since we're talking about fuel I found this interesting

The American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) applauds U.S. Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.) for introducing a bill that calls for new research into the effects of certain ethanol-blended gasoline...........................................

Dunno about green goop, I use el-cheapo 2-part-poxy with no problems. And if you make the toobs too short the fuel does indeed flow over whenever you hit a pothole. The road builders around here are particularly skilled at bumps and potholes, so I'm gunna pull the carbs and make up some longer toobs. Since those Wallies won't fix the roads.

Made up a steel sleve out of a 2 inch piece of Falcon fuel line and use that as a sort of a "crimp tool" and put it over the toob and beat it with a hammer. That basically "crimps" the toob in the hole and it doesn't move. Sort of like a press fit if you don't have a press.
No doubt SISF has a better jig for doing it, and yawl should just send your carb bowls to him.

Seal-All seems to be holding up after 24 hours....dumped the gas out of the bowl and took a look at the product...still flexible and showed no signs of degradation..added a second coat....I'll fill bowl again when it's set up and then will let sit for another 72 hours.

Game 6 is just about to start...Miller time

It's a donut, a JB Weld donut.

Fortunately, I press fit the tubes in as well, and the JB Weld was for good measure. I did it before we figured out that the JB Weld wouldn't work.

Awww. Ain't that a cute wittle donut.

I do know what does work really well is Pro-Seal. I too did my  over flow tubes and the JB weld failed but I did a press fit so it did not matter.
Pro-seal is made for airplane tanks but I have tested on tanks with that use ethanol and it does work .

Do you know which particular pro seal product Mike?

At $83 per pint, i'd just send them to SISF.

  I also build and provide the drain tube system with each set, along with all instructions on layout, etc... Steve

I dont see why Kawasaki stopped putting these tubes in their carb bowls?
My 1980's Z750 ltd had them in.

Probably an EPA (or some other agency) mandate I would think.  With them, gas can pour straight to the ground.

Well at least that was one rule change that does make some sort of sense!

Actually, the Kawasaki 1200 voyagers have the same bowls WITH the overflows, all models from 86 to 03. that model has a fuel pump, so I figure that the overflows are in case of a fuel pump failing on. . On the connie, I expect the factory figured that since it had a vacuum operated percock, that should prevent any overflowing. steve

Steve, did the overflows re-route back to the gas tank?
That would seem to be a sensible precaution for a  fuel pump ON failure situation, rather than just venting it
The vac gas tap was probably seen as a great idea when new. But as time goes by and rubber hardens / perishes it becomes a less attractive proposition!

I guess I must be a glutton for punishment. I drilled and tapped the bowl, threaded some thick wall aluminum tube and torqued it in with red Loctite. If I had to do it over again, I'd send them to SISF.
