I'll also add this little tid-bit here. For decades I've offered the service of installing heli-coils for stripped out inlet threads. I had to stop taking in the entire carb and just the main casting stripped down.
The owners of these carburetors told me that they were "working fine", but when I took them apart they were NOT up to par and many had miltiple issues that needed attention.
So here is the quandrum, IF you install the heli-coil and put it back together knowing it has issues, but the customer said it was working fine, what's going to happen when they get it back?
I'll tell you EXACTLY what's going to happen. You are going to get a call and the owner will say that his carb workied just fine until you touched it, now it doesn't do anything right!........
