B & S jet thread size

Gentlemen,

Delurking with a request for assistance.

8 HP B & S engine on an old Trusty rotovator. The jet fits in at an angle from the bottom of the bowl. In drilling out the old jet I damaged the thread where the jet screws in.

Have obtained a new jet but am told that the carb is no longer available.

Have tried to match the thread but it's not a UK one and the man at B&S UK said he did not know what it was

Does anyone know what type and size the thread is or even where one can obtain a tap the clean it up. There appears to be enough meat left to give this a try

Regards

Maurice

Two piece "Flo-jet" carb, check eBay. Thread is 5/16-32, the smaller carb uses 1/4-32, Briggs sells both taps, part number 19245.
