I have a stock carb that needs cleaned maybe even rebuilt but the housing is excellent so you could use yours and mine to make a good one. PM me if interested w/ zip and I'll send you a price.
I had that same issue with mine. I bought a used one off of here. In theory, you could maybe JB-weld around the top, cure, and then recut the threads, but the price of a die that large would probably be prohibitive, and it would be a half-ass repair at best.
they are very fine threads though, mine had the same issue. i actually soaked it with some wd-40 and then took a nice small wire brush and rubbed it out. threaded right on. and mine wouldnt even catch, could be dirt stuck in the threads. try cleaning before buying a new one.
mine was the same way - then in doing a lil reading i found that Permatec makes a thread repair kit for things likes that - so i went to checkers and bought it and used it and put it together and not it works just fine ill link the thread repair for you so you can see what im talking about

LIL FYI if the top pops off while you are riding u will be wide open throttle. this is very bad when not expected. happened to my son on a china quad. do it right or u could be in the bushes or off the cliff!!
