    The sugarfree stuff doesn't work, assuming all the sealing properties of
    warm Blu-Tac in moments on contact with petrol. Wedge a well-chewed
    lump of sugared gum on the leak and let it harden overnight and you have
    a long-lasting, effective repair.

    Alusol might be a safer bet - assuming it takes on monkey metal, best try it
    on a scrap carb first.

    Proper garages this was, not main dealer monkeys, but I take your point.

    I'll have a look in t'Yellow pages.

    Don't get the cheaper variety from the chemist, though. For all the
    good that did me, I might as well have stuck it up my arse.

    shouldn't that be imperial evidence, as in pints on the floor?

    Well, in my case quite serious levels of stupidity, TBH.
