Stripped afb choke housing screw

[70b5bluerunner]

Any ideas out there on how to repair this problem. There were a total of three holding the choke adjustment tight but one was stripped out and lost. Any help would really be appreciated. Thanks

drill & tap that hole and don't be afraid to use metric or whatever is just barely larger. OR, you can put some epoxy in the hole...pack it in there good... and drill/tap that epoxy. Just make sure to tighten that epoxy hole gently. OR a heli-coil

Too small of a screw. Those are self tapping machine screw thread. Probably a #6 or #8.

They are #8-32 x 9/16" self cutting screw. You could heli coil but be careful not to drill in too far. I think epoxy would be fine. Is it the exterior or interior screw?
