Help, chaps. I have acquired an almost brand new OS 46FX-H. Having dismantled it to replace bearings and seals, etc. I removed the carb only to find that the threads had been stripped. Question 1, where can I get a replacement 40C carb body? I've had a look on the internet and they are as rare as hen's teeth. Question 2. Do any of you good people have one which I can purchase? Help!

Hi Roy, if you don't have any luck from club members give Just Engines a ring and they will probably be able to sort you out with either a spare or something compatible - 01747 835817

I second that was very helpful in helping me with a replacement carb :)

Hi Roy
Where did you get "almost new" from?

Thanks chaps. I will first try to tap a 3.5mm or 4.00mm enlargement. Failing that, I will give Just Engines a call. The 'almost new' came from a deceased modellers estate. It had been bench run (thus having some internal gunge) and is in an unflown heli.
