YES, there are many types of solder, (huge).
soft and hard
the soft solders are now lead free. Soft tin based,
the hard solders are copper and 40% silver, and needs red hot temps to use. but is super strong.
so the soft is best. the diaphram will get hot and melt inside, and so the solder job must be 100% but the steel case will not like solder of any kinds.
so that needs to be cleaned off (cad plated or zinc i dont know), then using special flux for bare steel, fluxed then soldered.
just like old fashion brass radiators were done.
its just an option. any shop that does welding , can do this. most have torch and a rack full of every type of rod.
or any old rad shop can do this with soft solder.
you could use epoxy. but many are NOT fuel safe.
and in the same vain, needs to be cleaned of all plating first. and rough'd up with 100 grit sand paper, to give the epoxy some BITE, as its called.
whatever, you do it must now be 100% gas leak free, or you put your self in danger.
gasoline is a complex compound that has parts that destroy most things.
the product what ever, must be listed, Fuel safe. or it will fail.
option 2
cut the chamber in half. top to bottom , and gut it. spring ,seat and diaphragm (and learn whats in one,for fun)
then have any weld shop braze/TIG/MIG , the old seat closed. ,all steps are like 5 min, to cut, 5min to weld, 10 mins, total, its nothing.. for any shop to do this,
but do not take it in smelling of gas, get it 100% gas free, or they will not touch it. clean with soapy water and then bake it dry in an oven.
id bake it for 30min at 150f, no one wants a gas fire.
end of damper, you now have just a BANGO bolt.
all these words, make it clear that most folks never do this, we replace bad parts. fixing it , is impossible .
