Hey all, wondering if anyone has a suggestion on a carb plate replacement of should I just jbweld it? One of the carbs broke off its mounts. My fault, but looking for a cheap fix without having to drown $300 into a plate.
Thx

Do you have a picture of the break? I am curious how bad it is and if JB Weld is a good option. I have never had good luck with JB weld on anything.Comment

Part book does Not show a xlt1200 for 1999, (could be blind)..Can't see breaking the aluminium mount, the 2003 ish and up had a black plastic isolator added for cat caused carb overheating...I used the bolt set from the earlier model and threw away my broken insulator.
Just the extra 1/2 inch room made it worth it.Last edited by Crazypirate; 07-29-2020, 03:25 PM.XL800 with 92.5 pilots@7140rpm, steel cylinders, 145psi

Based on the diagram here, its part #45. I think they call it the Carburetor Mounting Plate.Comment
