I used a 1/4 28 tap to cut new theads in carberator, & replaced bolts with socket head cap screws ( allen bolts).
A fine thread 1/4 inch tap will be cheaper than heli-coil kit.
Also starting screws with allen wrench, I found easier to start screws strait.

I think so to, have tryed the adjustment jet on side of carb and not getting any change ( not idle screw ). Blowing lots of smoke thought it was oil maybe to much gas. could bystarter be shot and allowing to much fuel to flow.

Maybe, I am over looking diffuclity. The needle has three flats on sides, a head where it clips onto float, and a rubber tip. The hole the needle goes into on cab appears to be round. So it is not keyed by the flats, I may be misstaken but, I think the flats are clearance to let fuel around ?
