secondary airflap question.

(1/1)

firebird*boz:
hello all,

woundering what size the 4 x taped threads are in the secodary air flap?
( the screws that hold the 2 x airflaps to the shaft)

 it seems I have broken  the head off one of the screws that screw into the shaft; in trying to remove the screws.....

now need to re-drill & tap new thread.

thanks boz...

Schurkey:
Aren't those screws staked on the underside?

I bet you can grab the "bottom" end, and thread them out from the other
side.

firebird*boz:
yes, correct they are staked... but there is not enough of the screw through the other side to get a hold of... so it looks like i'll need to re-drill & tap..

Cliff Ruggles:
Choke flap and secondary airflap screws are #6-32's.  We have the correct length and style fasteners in our kits.  They can be opened up to 8-32 if you get in trouble there, we stock those as well.......Cliff
