I think I have a very small crack in my chamber due to exhaust residue on my pipe. I've been having problems with off idle bog that I thought was a carb issue but couldn't tune it out. Possibly a symptom of a cracked pipe?

Of course welding it is the best repair but I had good results with JB weld on a chamber and it held up fine.

I had another chamber that I switched it to but I haven't ran it yet. I like the jb weld idea.

a tiny crack that seeps goop is not going to smoke out the engine compartment. I doubt if that's your problem. use silicone gasket maker instead of JB. it flexes and JB will crack in 2 seconds. off idle bog could mean lean hesitation or too rich. open or close the bottom screws 1 turn and test it.

Did that. Worse in both directions. Engine bay has been a little smokey though.

Jb weld will hold for a bit but the crack will just continue to grow under and past the epoxy. The best thing to do is drill the ends of the crack so there is no centerpoint to the stress and grind out the crack as small as you can width wise and have it welded. If you can clean the inside of the pipe where the crack is who ever is welding it will appreciate it.

The slightest exhaust leak kills power, especially bottom end.
That's not true unless the crack is yuuge
Well it literally happened 2 weeks ago on my buddy's ski lol. And it was a small set of cracks. Could have had other factors involved.
