Well, aside from my electrical problems and carb problems I did manage to get Henry running again. While adjusting my carb though, I felt hot air on the top of my hand. I looked inside to find a 1/8" hole in the exhaust manifold.
I doubt this will hold because of the temperature but I had some JB Weld on hand and packed it tight. Should I just save myself the effort and go buy some muffler epoxy?
Suggestions?

I think you just plugged the weep hole that drains condensation / rain water etc. from the manifold.

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

Scotty,
Unless your manifold has two holes, it's supposed to be there. It is intended to be a drain hole for rain water.

Hole in exhaust manifold...
Have you ever tried silver solder? Someone told me that castings can be repaired this way non-structurally, and it looks easy enough to do myself... Even though you don't need it here, I'd like some feedback on how useful it is...
