there was a screw missing from one of the float bowls when I went to overhaul them. it didn't take long to find out why....the thread has been stripped some time in the past
Wouldn't you know it... it has to be the one that is virtually a blind hole .!
I take it my options are limited to using a blind tap to tap it larger, fixing a nut on the bolt (probably not enough room and bodging it by fixing a stud in the hole with JB weld
Does anyone know what the carb screw sizes are ? it looks to be a 0.7mm thread but the screw shank measures 3.8mm ? so I guess its a BA thread ?
When I know what the next size up is I'll order up a tap today
