Was cleaning the carb of rust, putting everything back on. While hand tightening the secondary jet cover this thing snapped. Anyone know a good fix for this? I don't have a drillset yet or tapset. Looked online and a few people recommend EZ-out, no idea if that'll be good for such a sensitive location. Material of the stripped screw is brass.

tidak bagus.

That screw is gonna be real difficult to get at unless you disassemble the carb. If you have even the smallest amount of the screw protruding out a small hammer and a screwdriver can kiss it out. But that takes a practiced hand.

Your best bet may be just to sit the carb strait up on the bench and use an easy out. You might want to try to drill it; because the screw is made of a pretty soft material.

 

that phrase, are you from Bali? My co-worker used to call the new guys that all the time.

Yeah I plan to fix it when it's out. I was just hoping there are other ways to latch it in. Drilling and tapping it might cost a lot for an imperfect repair (in my hands at least.) going to try the EZ-out route first... I debated on soldering a piece of metal on it and unscrewing it (kinda like how the ez-out works)

 

Na, my wife is, but I've lived around Denpasar for a while.

You might be able to get a little notch in it with a carbide bit on a dremel tool. Where you tightening it when it broke or loosening it?

 

tightening it, for now I fastened an extended metal plate from the carb-hat mount screw... if I show a picture you guys are going to puke, so I'll let your imaginations work it.

The car works, though it's backfiring very loud everytime I turn the car off. I can't tell if it's because of the lack of return line, but I know my fuel pump is overheating... it didn't before so I'm not sure if it's also just a bad ground or even positive connection.
