Hi, I had a problem with my 861 gas tractor running rough and hard to start over time. I found that one of the two screws holding the baseplate for the contact breaker pts in the distributor had stripped threads. I couldn't tighten it down and over time the breaker gap would change. So I found the closest self-tapping screw to replace the stripped screw. Unfortunately it is maybe one-eighth inch longer than the original screw. Will this much extra length be a problem with hitting anything in the distributor? I could grind down if needed, but just wondering if ok as is. Thanks
