Carburetor Damage Question
Hello everyone, I was curious if anyone out there has experienced the issue I'm working with. the threads for the air cleaner backing plate screws on my 72 are stripped out, and I was wondering if anyone knew whether they can be repaired or if there are better techniques than what I have in place. I have pictures of the damage and a picture of the 125's carb for comparison.
125 carb http://i1306.photobucket.com/albums/...ps8a9d4aae.jpg 72 carb http://i1306.photobucket.com/albums/...ps10ee9863.jpg the "repair" i'm using is taking a slightly larger screw and inserting a small wire into the hole before screwing it tight. http://i1306.photobucket.com/albums/...psf46dea02.jpg it works, but I know it's not making things better. anyone know of anything better? Thanks! Ian

not a bad Idea, just not sure how much metal I have to work with before I do some real damage. I was wondering how difficult it would be to possibly sleeve the holes with a piece of automotive brake line, if I could find the right diameter.

Carb Damage
I have a couple carbs that were repaired by installing a helicoil. A good machinist should be able to do the job for you. The kit is available from Carquest Auto Parts if you want to do it yourself.

   ^^ Testing Images I agree I would try drilling the holes out and tapping them out. I think there is enough meat left on the carb in order to do that. - Cory

the epoxy route sounds pretty good! I think I'll try that first, and if that doesn't work, i'll drill it out and re-tap it or try the helicoil. thanks everyone! I wanted to avoid getting a new carb, because this machine runs beautifully as-is!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
