I picked up a co8ple new idle Air adjuster screws For my Kadron dual carbs.
On one of the carbs the thread is boogered up and I would like to chase out the threads a bit with a tap, not sure the size and can’t find my gauges. Any body know what the tap size is ?

I really like the one adjuster that somebody made, the tip is all worn though . That screw driver end is actually a springy and makes it flex around works good

Those are fuel metering screws, not air. There are essentially two threads (as far as I've seen), course until emissions became stricter, and then they went to a finer thread, for finer adjustment.

I don't know thetwo threads off hand, so just a heads up, before you hurt something...
