Id stay away from anything that would permanently fix the carb to the engine. That 515 cures to form almost like a silicone type film and cleans up pretty easily if you ever need to remove the carb.

So i got some permatex ultra red to seal that carb

I have seen copper and blue work well.

I bet the red would work too.

What are the safe temp specs for ultra red and is it 'fuel safe'?

And yes the red works very well just as good if not better

It is 650

It is 650 degree non corrosive and sensor safe

So after trying 4 differnt gasket sealants locktite 515 this carb still wont make a seal I've had no luck on finding a compatible carb for this engine as the carb throat has a flat spot on it it has new gaskets the hole 9 i have decided to use jb weld since its an older cen engine I'm not to worried as ill be upgradinf the engine as soon as it has no more compression i i knoe its not ideal to use but i am all out of solutions on getting a seal yes I've check every gasket and every screw now the gas is priming like it should since the jb weld smh i got this matrix out of a trade and am now happy as it will run

If rtv didn't fix it, neither will jb weld.
