rayray69al Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 My left carb idle screw is stripped do they make a oversized idle screw or what is the best way to fix it without replacing the carb. Plus I have some other issues with my 02 banshee but I'm trying to fix the little things first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guns4children Posted July 7, 2016 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 You could always stuff it full of jb weld then drill and tap it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennett131 Posted July 7, 2016 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 Loctite makes a thread repair kit, it doesn't suck too bad. Might work out for you, just an idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rayray69al Posted July 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 Someone else told me to fill it with jb weld and drill and tap it again also u was just gonna try to tap it but the screw just slides in and out with no resistance so I figured the whole was to big just to tap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rayray69al Posted July 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 Ok thanks I just wanted another opinion on it before I done it I greatly appreciate the help then I'll get on to the bigger problems lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 Or have it fixed professionally in a matter of minutes with a thread repair.... But some people just love to hoopty shit with JB weld, wait 24 hours, drill, and tap. If you can do the last two steps, you can do a timesert or Helicoil.
