Re: KTM Carb Heater Install

Well I think the helicoil is be best route as it will promote the best heat transfer. Thanks for your input, I'll post up some pics of the completed install.

Re: KTM Carb Heater Install

No, nothing suitable on the other side. Here is a pic. The small boss you see there is too small, thread size of the heater element is larger than the OD of that boss.

Re: KTM Carb Heater Install

Bringing back an old thread. I want to install a KTM carb heater element in a Keihin FCR carb but not clear on where it goes because the obvious hole is already too large an I.D. for the thread size of the element. I could drill and tap what's left at the bottom of the hole but very little material ...
