Stromberg 97

[CWells]

The fuel inlet bowl threads on my 97 are stripped. Can I use a heli-coil to repair the threads?

The carburetor gurus who post here have a fix for this problem. Contact Uncle Max or Charlie ny by sending them a pm.

It is my opinion you will be happier as will your 97 with a threaded insert or an over-
size fuel inlet fitting versus a heli-coil.

Agreed... Heli-coils have their place, but not in a fuel inlet.
