I need to plug some vac holes in my carb. Anyone know where I can get some little rubber caps or something similar?
 
My personal favorite is to go get some set screws, and pull the fitting out, tap the hole, and use the set screws to plug it. I've seen the stupid rubber caps blow off in a backfire, and they aren't well suited to engine heat...they start to crack pretty shortly after being installed.
 
What ever happened to just using a small section of vac. line and a little bolt or screw /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
 
i didnt know where to find the little caps. so i used some vaccuum line and squeezed some silicone rtv in the end and left it like that with no problems.
