Don`t panic about the stripped bolt if it is carb to manifold . Take the stripped bolt to a store that has metric bolts & nuts & buy 2 new bolts about 1/2 " longer than the stock bolts & 2 nuts to fit them . Use the nuts on the other side to hold things together that stripped. Do both sides so they match . Tighten evenly . Just you & I & a few dozen others are using the longer bolts & nuts look. Looks factory doesn`t it . No one will know . If messing with the carb screws hasn`t gotten rid of the popping put every thing back to the out of the box settings that you wrote down. The choke cable was hard to get correctly adjusted on my dr. clone carb so it was all open when the lever was in & closed tight with the lever pulled out. The rush of air can over ride the choke spring at high rpm`s. Choke 1/2 on with my BMW causes lots of midrange popping. Baby Huey`s 2 cents

Subject: [Honda-C70] HELP - A disaster with Carb
I was having some acceleration issues. Was told I needed to install the gasket next to the insulator. Did that, and popping did not go away. Fiddled with needle length, adjusted both air and idle screws to the point it was totally messed up. Then I tightened the carb too tight and have stripped the bolt.
Ugh. Do I need a new carb? Why is there a pronounced "popping" when I try and accelerate? I have searched for air leaks to no avail.
Bike sits in garage, wanted to ride.....any advice is welcomed. It is a DRATV carb. I can get it to idle and top speed great, it is that middle section that is a mess, and now it is stripped and I can not tighten onto the manifold.
