Stripped carb mounting bolts
hi I have a 1984 honda spree and my carb mounting bolts are stripped and have been jerry rigged, I just bought a new carb and it did not come with any mounting bolts, does anyone know the proper size bolts i need to get? I can't find them on websites like babbitts either

Re: Stripped carb mounting bolts
Greetings:
The EASIEST way to address this is to procure a 1/4" tap. Buy two standard 1/4" x20 bolts, a 2" and a 1.5". Run the tap through the existing threads. You don't even need to drill. The bolt ends need to be trimmed so you don't poke a hole into the carb. I cannot recall the exact dimensions, but it will be obvious when you mount up the carb. The brown insulator can be installed 4 ways. Only one is correct.
