The bottom bucking spike hole into the case of my 046 stripped out. I did not realize it until the screw was gone and the bucking spike plate was loose. When I got the new 5mm screw, and tried to replace it, I noticed the hole was stripped.
My question is, should I helicoil the hole back to 5mm or tap it out to 6mm and use one of the common 6mm Stihl T27 screws? I ask because I am not real sure what is behind that hole. The hole is plenty deep to tap out, but I am worried about it being too big at 6mm.
Thanks
