What's the best to hold carb studs in?
Hi all,
I've searched the archives of RAMVA on best solutions to hold studs in the carb body once they loosen and come out. - Especially the front stud ( toward the front of the car. I know the rear stud can be held in with a bolt and a nut) I've found a few articles (about 3) mentioning loctitie ( not sure what grade(?)), but never heard of a "report back" as to how well this works. One article mentioned inserts. I was thinking of JB weld but whatever I use I have a concern for temperature changes Does anyone have any input on their experience? Thanks - though was quite surprised I did not find many discussions on this! Matt S. |

You don't use either of the suggested "glues". You use a Thread insert
repair kit. A Helicoil will work also, but not quite as reliable. The carb should be drilled and tapped to the correct "Thread Insert size for the correct repair. Send it to us and we can do it right. (Along with Ultrasonic cleaning of the carb for no extra charge.) Jim SR Racing |

Does it clean teh small passages inside the carb? Jan |

Thanks to those who responded;
the threads don't seem stripped, and I'll give JB Weld a try, if that does not work, I'll be contacting Jim about re-doing the threads. This may be interesting Thanks Matt S Howard Rose > wrote in message >. .. > On 23 Oct 2004 18:22:48 -0700, (MATT S.) wrote: > > >Hi all, > > > >I've searched the archives of RAMVA on best solutions to hold studs in > >the carb body once they loosen and come out. - Especially the front > >stud ( toward the front of the car.

It does seem based upon his laast post that they are NOT stripped. So
Loctite could be in order. Jim SR |
