stripped

Hi guys, started replacing the starter clutch over the weekend... flywheel came off eventually (actually easier then anticipated, happy days). Changed starter clutch went to reassemble and then noticed I'd stuffed the first few threads of the Crankshaft internal thread so now the flywheel...

I stripped the oil drain plug today. Do you think I can heli coil it or should I get a new pan? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can someone direct me to options to remove a stripped air mixture screw? I was given a set of carbs and I'm unable to remove one of the air mixture screws. Someone prior really smoothed the head, nothing there to bite into. Thanks. Tom

I was removing my old rotors and one rotor came off easy, and the other one had 3 screws where the allen heads were stripped, and I tried everything I could think of to get them out. Used an impact driver, tried hammering a bigger allen and also a torx bit in there with no luck. Next I tried...

I pulled a few threads from my bell housing the other day installing a cummins into a NV4500 in my E350 fummins. I can (should have) replace the bolt with a longer one and use the 1/2" of remaining good threads which were tested to 30' lbs. But Id like to insure I wont have a problem again...

I have a pretty significant off idle stumble and tried to fix it today but got hung up. All 4 of my mixture screws are pretty corroded in their respective carb bodies, but one in particular was a bitch and I ended up rolling the slot out of the screw head trying to seat it and get a baseline...

A few years ago I put 1300 venture carbs on my vmax, I swapped everything over(including the butterfly valves) from the vmax carbs to the venture carbs. Now that I'm rebuilding the carbs and putting in morleys jet kit in I noticed some of the butterfly valve screws are stripped. I figure the...

Buddy of mine stripped the left hand threads on the right mirror. I think he said 10mm. I see helicoil makes LH kits, but they are expensive.. Any suggestions on a fix?

how do i get this out ? i tried and EASY OUT didnt work.. i dont know what to do im afraid to drill anymore espically with a bit on the cylinder HELP!!!!!!!!

I guess I used a little more force then necessary and stripped the threads on the body of the carb for the diaphragm cover. Has anyone tried to fill up the hole and re tap? I thought about using JB weld but read alot of poor reviews on the products performance.:ummm: If all else fails..... let...

The screws that hold the carb cover on are phillips head and the bike came with them horribly stripped. The previous owner told me about this at the time of purchase. I tried using the screw extraction tool I got from home depot and its a no go. It just files off more of the bolt. I've read...

:bang head::bang head:I over tighten the bolt that attaches the oil cover... Took it to the stealership... and the bolt got stripped. I just changed the oil so i can go for at least another 3000. I found another cover and bolt for 25 shipped. Any advice? They were talking about cracking the old...

Hi folks: What would you recommend to repair stripped threads in the Max's oil pan where the drain bolt screws into? (A REAL idiot I am very familiar with has misaligned the drain bolt when replacing this bolt and rendered the oil pan at least temporarily useless!) Thanks muchly. Elimax

Thanks for looking in - While doing the shotgun repair, I found one of the idle screws was partially stripped and now it is stripped all the way! I've never messed with them the 13 years I've owned the bike so I'm thinking it is in the right position but when it wasn't so stripped and I seemed...

Well, if it's not one thing it's another. Finally got my forks rebuilt, and was bolting on aftermarket fork brace. P.O. had STANDARD bolts in 3/4 of holes. I bought the correct metric bolts, but one of the holes seems stripped out. Bolt doesn't spin easily, but won't tighten up either...

A while back ,I had my son remove the clutch cover. Now going back and trying to reinstall it. I see I have a stripped screw hole..:bang head::bang head::bang head::bang head: the stripped hole is the one with locater collar, left side. Now before I continue.. Is the other collared hole on the...

Hi, I was missing the top bolt for my front left caliper ( I'm only using one) and Sean sent me a bolt but when I went to put the bolt in it's stripped, can I retap it or will I need a whole new caliper? Problem is mines chromed. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks, Ed

I went to check needle clip position on my keihin carbs and found one of the M4 top cover screws missing. I removed another to check the empty hole and the screw went all the way in without turning.:bang head: stripped. I dont think there is enough material to install a helicoil. What...

Hello everyone, I'm looking for some advice on what to look for while I go through restoring my 85max. The bike went into storage in great shape about 12 years ago and came out of storage looking almost as good. Most of the Aluminum parts plus the engine has corrosion. I blasted the entire...

I drilled out the plugs over the a/f screws finally and one of the screws is REALLY stripped, to the point of there being two little rounded triangles instead of a thin line for a standard driver. It will not move at all! I fear my only option is to drill it out which I REALLY am not wanting to...
