Corroded bolting flange on base

Author Message   Roger Shields Member Username: rshields Post Number: 6 Registered: 02-2013 Posted on Thursday, December 03, 2015 - 05:28 pm:        I have a 4 hp Atlantic and the flange on the crankcase is corroded locally in the area where the 4 bolts go through. IT is at about 25% thickness. Is there any way to reinforce this? Anybody had similar issue and solution?   S.Marsh Visitor Posted on Wednesday, December 09, 2015 - 07:03 pm:        If you can find a welder with an oven they will be able to weld on new material.It seems that the cast iron has to be heated up then welded.The minimum charge was $100 when i had it done.
