Add me to the list who agree closing the crack and glue repair is more than adequate and looks good. I use a "super glue", with an activator and a fine filler powder in the kit. Extremely strong and durable. It really is amazing stuff. Have used it on all kinds of repairs. Works especially good on almost all plastics. Interior and exterior hard trim. Obviously, I have found it to work well to repair this common carb issue.
