Goldnboy 1,116 #1 Posted March 27 (edited) So how far do you go to save your carbs? I came across this one with a ripped out screw hole. Using Jb weld to fix and will retap the treads. Edited March 27 by Goldnboy 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andrewLL 31 #2 Posted March 27 Nice fix, but I’m sure the other two screws would be sufficient to hold the air filter housing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wild Bill 633 931 #3 Posted March 27 I like to use E-Z Lok solid wall thread inserts. They come in standard and thin wall. To use the standard wall, you drill and tap and install. To use the thin wall, you drill and tap and then use a slightly bigger drill to remove the peaks of the internal threads, then install. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Goldnboy 1,116 #5 Posted March 28 Retapping completed and bushings installed too! Should last a long time now. 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Retired Wrencher 6,661 #6 Posted March 29 Good job on the fix of the carb. Should last another 25 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
