    Cracked carb. housing.

    Is it possible to fix a cracked carburator housing. I was putting it back together after changing the jets and see 2 cracks on the edge of the lip where the gasket goes on the bowl. If not, does anyone have some junk carbs for parts for a 1981 gs 650 gl? No wonder it has been running like ####! Thanks

                    I have a full set of 32mm Mikunis that I have been hanging on to for parts. PM me if you need a body and I can send pics.
