[AT] (Off Topic) Glue for gasoline piece or good vintage Engine parts site, Craftsman Snowblower.

Will,  I don't know what kind of plastic it is but probably something like 
JB Weld or regular old convenience store 2 ton epoxy will do it IF it will 
bond to the plastic.   If it doesn't work it won't hurt anything because it 
will just peel off.  If it sticks it should hold the gasoline just fine. 
Put it on from the outside so if it does happen to fail it won't get into 
your carb.   Rough the fitting up a bit with sand paper before you apply it. 
It would be better if you can find the part but if not it won't hurt to try.

Hello,

I have an old Sears snowblower (5269?) (20 years old at least) that just 
won't die. 3.5 hp Tecumseh. Problem I have now is a small gas seepage out of 
a plastic elbow from the carb fuel inlet. The elbow fits on a splined male 
piece out of the carb. The elbow has a tiny crack. I want to 1) Find the 
right piece or 2) glue the piece on with an appropriate glue that will hold 
up to gasoline.

Any ideas on parts or glue?
