Sorry slight exaggeration just went out to the shed and had a look, there are enough inserts to repair 12 carbs. If your going to search for it on ebay the brand is Zuess Industrial Tools - Thread repair kit

Hi I had the same problem recently. To find helicoils in the same thread pattern is like finding rocking horse shit - impossible. I bought a 16x2 metric helicoil kit and a metric banjo the same size (had to trim the length of the metric banjo to stay clear of the jets and the Loctite insert as well ...

With a lot of choke - hand over inlet rotating motor by hand - it started second pull but did not pump water :| whoops had a think and realised I forgot to flush out cooling pipe in exhaust tube anyway back flushed with garden hose and the crap and brown ...

I must let you know first I only have basic backyard shed tools to use (vice, clamp, butane blowtorch ...

Hi THC thanks for the offer to help a different gearbox to suit will save a lot of work that's for sure. This is a photo of the gearbox when I first pulled if apart when I got the motor in September lots of rubbish inside it then. I'd appreciate it if you have a look at what you've got and maybe ...
