Where are you located? If another member is close enough maybe someone would be kind enough to lend you a good carb to verify your diagnosis. I know that would make me feel alot better about dropping the $ on a new carb.

I think I have heard of that carb body problem you described,the carb has two safety type screws holding the casting together,the gasket between is not available,it's not meant to be serviced,sometimes you can get lucky and put a light coating of yamabond and reassemble,then pray it seals it up.

Johnnybricks:
Thanks for all the info. I have tried to seal it up twice with defferent compounds to no avail.  I live in Toronto if anyone is willing to lend me a carb to check I would be vary greatfull  :lol:
I am really busy these days and havent found the time to even think about it for a couple of weeks but I'm getting an itch for a lil ice riding once I dedicate some time to the 5hundie.

Down here in the states we have Seal-All, it works with gas & oil not sure if you have tried it or not it looks like contact cement.CBX
