Well, I may have made another expensive mistake. I had a lead plug in the spot on my carb that accepts the carb temp sensor which I got with my Dynon. Following the directions, I carefully drilled out the lead plug without enlarging the hole. So far, so good. The directions said to tap the hole to 1/4-28. I tried but it wasn't taking the threads because the hole was too small. So, I drilled the hole out to 1/4". I think this is where I made my mistake. Then I tapped it to 1/4-28. You know where I'm going with this. Now the hole is too large for the sensor. What do I do now?
Do I try to figure out a way to plug the hole back up and forget the sensor? Can I bond in the sensor? Do I add a Heli Coil? I hope I didn't make a huge mistake!!
