Part of the female threads in the float bowl on my teapot carb. (that hold the air cleaner stud) have galled/stripped-out. I need to attend to this, since if any more thread strips I won't have a way to secure the air cleaner. The stud only requires 4 ft. lbs. of torque. Short of drilling out & tapping oversize (and necessarily jerry-rigging an oversized stud), or buying a Helicoil kit, I'm wondering if there is a simpler method since the torque requirement is so low? It would have to be gasoline proof.
