anyone got a good set of st carbs (28mm) or any that'll work instead? some of the float bowl threads are knackered on mine and one just won't tighten down enough to stop leaking. could they be helicoiled? thanks.

There's also enough meat on the castings to drill and tap to M5.

hi, why not try and use a small nut and bolt to see if it stops leaking,
