Idle screw tap messed up

[Tyler702]

Recently picked up a 99 banshee for a steal of a price and whoever did the tors delete messed up the tap on the right carb.. 

 

Anyways to fix this? I've heard jb weld but I'd rather not do that 

what are some good after market carbs?

i really don't plan on doing anything else to the bike as of now just want to get it up and running so what size carb/brand should I go with? 

bike has full t5s no air box or lid and k&n pods and vforce4 reeds 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated

If you don’t want to risk using JB weld or other repair material, why not look for a used OEM carb or pair on ebay or Craigslist? Might get lucky and find a set that has the idle screws already done?

Or see if there is a thread repair kit for that size. Doing a thread repair is easy if you have access to a drill press with a decent vise. (even the harbor freight benchtop model works for this...
