Ok I took my carb and manifold off the 100 I just picked up to do a rebuild on it and when it came time to put it back on I noticed that one of the bolt holes in the head where the manifold bolts to is stripped out causing a huge air leak now.
I was wondering if anybody has a better way to fix it other then pulling it off drilling and retapping?

Thanks

best bet is to remove the motor and take your time ....

You can do just about anything with that stuff. Best 5 bucks I ever spent. LOL

Perhaps some sort of helicoil would be better though.

I would say heli-coil as well. Do it right the first time, they dont take long to put in.
