Stripped carburetor drain screw head

[steelerdude99]

For misc hardware, I'm lucky enough to live near a good "mom and pop" hardware store that has just about every metric/inch screw/nut/bolt imaginable. Even a "chain store" like a Lowes has cabinets w/ hardware sorted by size, length and metal type. Take one of the damaged ones with ya, and find what ya need.

If ya find something that's the correct thread size, but too long. What I do is get a steel nut in that thread size along with screws. I then put the screw in the nut before I cut it to length. Then file or grind the cut smooth. When the screw is backed out, it chases the thread.
