After finishing a carb rebuild I was reinstalling carbs when one of the stud bolts from the intake manifold broke. How is this repaired? Thanks.

If you can get to it fairly easily you can either use a bolt extractor or drill out the bolt. Then use a stainless metric helicoil. The hardest part will be getting the old bolt out. A helicoil kit is fairly inexpensive and not hard to use. Most good auto parts places have the kit. Use anti-seize compound for the new bolt in case you have to remove it again in the future. I used to have a 1985 Yam 115 and got quite proficient using helicoils!
