ORIGINAL: w8ye

Send it to Clarence Lee. He will install a Heli Coil. I think it is something like $8 + shipping.

Clarence F. Lee MFG Co.
10112 Woodward Ave.
Sunland, CA 91040
818-352-3766

this is not cost effective to do your self. The threads are 1/4"-32 which is a special size. You would have to special order a whole Helicoil set to get one coil. It would be cheaper to buy a new engine.

Enjoy,

Jim

I sent one to him about 8 years back and it all worked out fine.
