Hello,
I have rebuilt a few automotive carbs in my life but never a boat carb. So I order a kit and a new float. Got is all tore apart and cleaned up. I was putting it back together and found out I have messed up one of the screw holes for the throttle blades. Missing some threads. I shouldnt have taken them off but I did. I didnt see when I was taking them off they were staked on the back. Anyone else do and get it repaired? I found some stainless steel 3mm machine screws and was thinking about using them with a matching lock nut on the back. Do you think this will for or should I bust out the tig welder close the holes and retap them?
