just got my new engine back from tuners. filled her up with water, and she pissed herself. this engine has got the carb heater thing just under the no1 carb rubber. I dont need it, so whats the best way to block it? can i just put a rubber end on it, or does it get presurised that it might pop off? or should i solder it up or something?
any ideas?

Is it a hole drilled through the metal or the rubber itself?

Ideally, a rubber bung like you'd use to repair a tyre would be the best, I'd have thought.

I would get a short bit of water hose that fits onto it, then fold the other end over on itself and cable tie it together as hard as you can. Should seal pretty well.

i would fit the carb heaters back on.

stick a bolt in the end and a jubilee clip it.

that wont fail.

cheers.
i like the cork idea, nice and light weight. do you think if i glued a load of them together, i could fashion a nice set of super flyweight wheels?? could be on to somethin.....im off to asda for 1029 bottles of red.
i think ill try the blocked hose for now tho!
