Black RTV to patch plastic carb parts?

[Bantou]

Any reason I couldn’t use black rtv to seal this crack on my nozzle well? It doesn’t appear to run very deep and the brass tube runs all the way through. Best I can tell, it’s just for support and the tube is still very solid. My big concern is that it sits down in the fuel bowl and will be constantly exposed.

They are considered an obsolete part now and difficult as all get out to find without paying an insane amount.

I’d probably clean well w/ alcohol & would use this sealant MADE for fuel systems.

And could a small zip-tie (or SS wire, twisted tight) go all the way around the body/housing shown (between thumb & finger) to give added support, to at least stop that ‘wall’ where cracked from breaking out??
