Holley Carb float bowl vent leaking

I noticed the other day that the carb float bowls vents (the ones on the bowls and not the ones aimed into the intake) were leaking at a pretty quick rate. I pull off the old sealant, clean the metal up with a wire brush and some brake clean and then used some JB Weld SteelStik as it apparently is more fuel resistant than other JB welds. Stopped the leaks and got me back on the water. Just figured I'd share my experience in case anyone else runs across the same issue. 

 

Sometimes you throw out that challenge like my quote above and then decide that you should maybe take that challenge yourself.

Today, after thinking about it some, I came up with a relatively simple way of getting the top plug out without damaging the plug or the bowl in the process. Side plug.............well that's a different story

And as an added extra bonus, you can put it back together with a new O ring. 

Pretty much any self respecting semi accomplished backyard hack can do it   

Will it leak? Beats me, but I'll know tomorrow and post the process either here or in a new separate thread
