this is how i blocked the hotstart on my 450r carb
materials,
1- metric size 12 bolt with 1.25 pitch
a hacksaw
some teflon thread tape
ok all u need to do is put the bolt in a vise, cut it shorter with the hacksaw so it will fit good in the hot start hole.
then grab the tape, and go around the bolt 3-4 times
then simply put the bolt in the hotstart, u dont have to tighten it down that tight it wont go anywhere and will not leak.
well there u go a good way to block off a hotstart, this way is much better then using silicon.
Also make sure u are using a 1.25 pitch bolt its a fine thread the other size pitch bolts will not work.
