I was going to adjust my fuel pressure, when I start to loosen the jam nut, and the whole bolt/nut started to turn. I knew this was not right, so I started to I tried to tighten the nut back up but it just kept turning. I took out the bolt/nut and find the thread has been pulled out.

The nut seems seized to the bolt, has anyone experienced something like this before? Does anyone know if Kirban can rebuild it, or just sell the top half? Or can I just heli-coil it? The regulator seems fine other that this problem.

Thanks

I will take it apart to see how much material I have, if there is enough I will give it a try.
