Stripped bowl threads on carbs Helicoil guidance needed.
JezzaPeach:
Hi Ted, I had one go and (for now) got away with a longer screw which reached some unused thread, and not over- tightened. Just a thought.

I tried that by leaving the washer out - I'm going to do it properly - one day next week if I have a spare box of roundtoits.

Got a squaretuit!

My box is square - I suspect it's still empty!
Matt_Harrington:
Ted, I replaced about half of the threads on my spare 400/4 carbs with helicoils. I use Loctite 648 when inserting then trim off any helicoil AFTER it has cured with the ol' dremel.
