Chris too make sure the holes were deep enough ran a 2.5 mm tap thru, not really needed just a check the 2.5 x 8mm perfect fit and you can get them firmed down
nice and tight , both engines done the same. I just repaired the broken throttle arm by slipping a thin piece of aluminum tubing over the broken arm slipped in the broken part flattened with a plier use some ca glue to fill the gap and glue and it works the EZ connector was then put on, looks sleezy but it worked would like to get a new arm however martin
footnote I put the screws in the casting ( no head) and they went right to the bottom so length is right

Good then, because 2.5mm fit in a 2.6 hole (obviously!)-but you run a high risk of stripping the thread when you tighten them because of the low thread engagement..............
