If you can't use a heli-ciol to repair the idle screw hole you can mix up some jb weld and get a good amount in the idle screw hole let it fully cure and you can drill and tap it and put a new idle screw in it and your good to go.You can do this for $10.00 for the jb and a new idle screw.

jonnybanshee Posted March 15, 2010 Author Report Posted March 15, 2010 sweet i didnt think about that ....do u happen to know what size tap and drill i need?? and the guy i bought the quad from never finished putting in the idle screws for the tors disable ... how far down do u grind the part on the card down for the idle screws to be long enough? thanx Quote
powertripn Posted March 15, 2010 Report Posted March 15, 2010 and the guy i bought the quad from never finished putting in the idle screws for the tors disable ... how far down do u grind the part on the card down for the idle screws to be long enough? thanx Not sure off hand on the drill and tap size.Buy your new screw and go a well stocked hardware store and you can match it up.As far as the grinding goes I put my carbs in a vise and just filed that piece down flat so the lock nut on the idle screw sits flush.All carbs are a little different but I would just file it flat and you will probably be good.
