My apologies for not having a modLe number handy. Will post tomorrow when I'm back at the shop.
This is the typical courage. The same one that always has the cranked block in the front upper corner.
2 studs hold the carb on. With a short bolt beside the one on the right that has the ground wire attache'd to it.
I've never taken the studs out of one of these. But on this one, both of them came out with the nut. The long one on the right, looks to be a self tapper.
Well someone tried to tap it after it bottomed out and stripped the threads.
Customer isn't wanting to.put anymore money into this, so I put some blue lock tight on it and screwed it in til it bottomed out. It's finger tight. But I'm afraid it's not going to work.
Looking for solutions. Tap it and hope I can fine the right bolt to replace it is the only solid solution I can think of.
Anyone got any other ideas?
P.S. will a leak between carb & head cause engine to surge?
