Anyone know exactly the thread pitch & size of the A/F screw thread's? Got one I need to chase.
I sure don't have it in my tap & die set.

I would try to use a thread chaser first before using a tap. I cannot help with the thread type.

6mm diameter.  .75 thread pitch

  An old trick I use when I don't have a chaser/ or tap, or oddball thread is to use the known same thread bolt/ part, and cut a vertical slot (with a cut off wheel or hacksaw blade),down the threads for a cleaning space. Now for a odd 6 x .75mm thread like that in brass may be to soft, so a tap is probably the only realistic option. But if you've got a A/F screw with a boogered point to alter could work also. If you ever need a quick cleaning of a spark plug hole, or old Loc-tite off left hand threads like a tranny sprocket nut, or the like. it works great, and throw it in your thread repair box for the next time.

    Way back when you couldn't buy new A/F screws or had a screwed up hole, I'd re-tap the upper hold to a 1/4" fine thread. Then bore/drill out a new 1/4"nf screw & epoxy the old point onto the new screw. Owning a lathe is the cheapest special tool you'll ever buy.
