Still shouldn't be a problem if you get a new screw that's long enough to utilize all the remaining good threads and don't over tighten it. I'm still trying to figure out how the PO managed to strip one of those. Are they the type that take a regular flat blade screw driver or do they take a socket? He must have really cranked down hard to strip one of those. They really only need to be snugged down as long as the bowl gasket and the round screw gaskets are good.

they take a socket. when i work on carbs like this a use a nut driver cause thats all you need. some people just need to step back and let other people do it lol.

Sounds like the PO used a big rachet!
