try patching the hole with jb again then heating up the meatl around it, it will kindof liqify the jb weld for a minute and it will work it self in the hole better and create a good seal, this is what i did when the alumiloy wouldnt work on my clutch cover, and the hole is where some sort of oil return line was so the patch is on constant pressure and it hasnt let go or leaked one drop for 3 months now

I don`t see any problem with Tig welding your job. Any
tig welder can cut a small piece of aluminum to cover the small hole after cleaning it up with a dremmel tool. Just take your time to let it stay as cool as possible. There are no seals or gaskets to worry about. After it is covered you can then decide if you want to put the rest of it back on. But is it nessesary?

Is it cast aluminum or cast steel? (i honestly dont know, but its a casting for sure)
It will need to be welded with low heat for sure to not make a huge mess.
i would take it to a local fab shop and ask them to do it, we get guys that come in here all the time with stuff off their bikes and tracotrs and stuff, they get stuff fixed for dirt cheap.

Well, I managed to crack my case right above my sprocket. I tryed Epoxying it, but that didn't work and neither did JB Weld. So my next step is to actually have some one to weld it. Now I am wondering if I would have to split the case and give him half to weld? or could I just get it welded on there, or will it warp something or maybe it will make some kind of gas with the oil being inside. Here's a pic of it

I had the same problem on a sackadooky 230s. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
My solution was a propane torch and a Miracle rod cast aluminum low temp
welding rod that I had gotten at a swap meet in Oak Ridge TN.
Being a certified MIG, TIG and stick welder, I was skeptical to say the least. But much
to my surprise, It worked.
The only set back was, I (being the welder I am) did'nt read the directions on the first
attempt. So after reading the instructions, I finally got it welded, and used a dremel
tool to smooth and polish it up a bit.
As far as low cost (10$ for ten rods) and low difficulty fixes (I did have to split the case)
this was the way to go for me. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
Peace
