Chipped Carb Bodies - Need Advice from the Carb Gurus

[imghandi]

Hey guys, I'm working on my cleaning/rebuilding the carbs after the bike fell on it's right side two days ago. I have the bodies disassembled/ removed of rubber parts and soaking in berryman's. i notice two of my carbs have little pieces missing from the top where the air needles are. I was wondering if these were an issue if I left them as is (I'm pretty sure I've been riding them like that for months without major issues) or if I should perhaps repair them with some jb weld. Thanks for any and all help as usual.

Nope. Sorry for the confusion. Here are the pics with arrows pointing to the affected areas.

Those are common, I guess part of the casting/machining process. They have been in 95% of the many multiple carbs I've seen.


Agreed, they should present no issues.
