[AJD] DLTX-67 bore plug screws

[John]

  Ive seen pics of some carbs sent to Cork Groth in Iowa (at GOG where he 
and I gave Seminars) that looked so corroded they must have been at the 
bottom of the ocean for 100 years AND HE MAKES THEM LIKE NEW AGAIN. Id say 
if anybody can fix yours hes THE MAN.
