#28 Carb Top Problem

Help needed please; my carbs were in dire need of balancing (UK CB750 Chassis 1010369) the Morgan Carbtune made short work of the job and they adjusted beautifully, lovely steady idle etc.

The downside though was the #28 cap on No1 carb, the M6 thread in the carb top itself is almost stripped, not quite but very close, so it's now at least temporarily held firm with loctite.

Looking at the threaded section, the short tubular casting protruding above the cap body seems too thin to effect a typical thread repair, insert, helicoil etc.

I guess these small threads are vulnerable to ham fistedness and age so I can't be the first to have this problem, has anyone successfully repaired the cable adjuster thread, or failing that does anyone know where a replacement cap could be obtained?

Any advice gratefully received............Mick............kettle738

Thank you for the advice, I have sent a pm to Steve and will bear in mind the chemical metal should it get to that stage.

Thanks again..............Mick.
