The original subject was "Re: Carburetor rebuild woes".
Had a bent idle stem and it actually came out just fine, straightened it in vice, then broke putting back in. Good thing I measured the thread when it was out. All measurements said thread was 4-40 but it was real tight so I oiled it, and was still tight. Next time will use 5-40 tap. Taps were only a few dollars at NAPA.
