That stuff is known as plumber's tape here in The Colonies. Lovely
stuff. A previous owner had turned my Ducati's round carb throat into a
slight oval, causing nastiness. A LOT of plumber's tape solved the
leakage problem, but it ran rich thereafter because I was afraid to take
it apart to adjust the needle. Ultimately I found a complete virgin
carb at a yard sale for $15. But I digress.
I keep meaning to take some of that tape to the gym to fix a hand-held
shower head that leaks badly. Maybe Wednesday...
