Glad you got it fixed.

The following is just information and not directed at you.

The issue of stripping threads in many carburetor fuel inlets can be avoided by using two wrenches when installing/removing the fuel line. One wrench holds the fuel fitting, the other turns the fitting on the fuel line. Failure to use two wrenches will eventually lead to the softer alloy threads in the carb body becoming stripped.

Hopefully, this technique will help others.

And the helicoil, if available in the needed size, IS the court of last resort.
