A small hole in the carburetor
I have not yet checked if it also exists in the 2nd carburetor.
Do you think this is okay? If so - what is its role?

Let's start with the easy things first. Read my post on the other thread and start debugging there.

Re: A small hole in the carburetor
I second Kurt's recommendation of Muggyweld, though it's a welding supply company rather than a single product. I've dealt with them a bunch and they're great. Their Super Alloy 1 is probably just what you want. I actually just recently used it to repair one of these very carburetors. It bonds to pretty much any metal and has a nice, low melting point. It's really easy to use.

Re: A small hole in the carburetor
The wire can be seen through it.
After more research and studying online into the night , I already realized unfortunately that it should not be there.
I intend to use https://www.quiksteel.com/, as it is a material that can be obtained here in Israel.
