bansheeigo Posted September 26, 2006 Author Report Posted September 26, 2006 you should tap it with metric tap Ok, I have a 5mm tap and screws(4mm is original)but I can't find the right size of drill bit to use.On the internet they say to use a #19 drill bit or a 4.3mm .1693 decimal inches but in this little town I live in don't have this size of drill bit so I'm going to have to order it from the net.Has anybody done this and it came out ok or did something else?, please need some answers. Thanks. Quote
dajogejr Posted September 26, 2006 Report Posted September 26, 2006 I take it you mean the screws hold the float bowl on..... How many are stripped? Have you tried a longer bolt? I don't remember if stock carbs allow for a longer bolt or no....I don't think they'll allow you to go all the way through... There's not a lot of pressure on those...have you tried or thought about helicoiling them? PM Bigred350X. I know he works at a machine shop...maybe he'll have some better ideas...or can help you out... Quote
EastCoast Banshee Posted September 26, 2006 Report Posted September 26, 2006 just go buy a new tap they usually come with a drill bit. Quote
bansheeigo Posted September 27, 2006 Author Report Posted September 27, 2006 Yes its the float bowl screws and two are striped on each carb.The screws go all the way through and I think i'll go buy a tap\drill bit combo out of town at homedepot , but i'm still wondering if anyone had the same problem i have,what they did, and how did it turn out? Thanks. Quote
