As Kevin mentioned, genuine Heli-Coil kits ARE expensive, but if you shop ebay, you can generally find them fairly close to the price Kevin quoted for the Amazon kit.

There used to be a cliche: "You get what you pay for".

Sometime ago, I paraphrased that cliche as follows: "You generally DON'T get what you don't pay for".

Over the last 50 years, I have installed hundreds of genuine Heli-Coils, with NEVER an issue.

I did test some of the less expensive knock-offs and then threw away the castings.

You get ONE opportunity to correctly fix the stripped threads, and then you get to replace the carburetor.

Which is the most expensive; the Heli-Coil kit or a carburetor ?

Good carburetion is fuelish hot air
The most expensive carburetor is the wrong one you attempt to modify.
