Just a drop. The saying "More is better" does not work with thread locker. Also pay close attention to the torque values.

I knew the answer but what I would like to know is why in the FU$& didn't the indie I used know that? I had to destroy the screws to get them out. I rounded them out and even still I unscrewed the damn threaded spacer from the carb! One of the screws was already rounded out before I even touched it. There was thread lock half way up the damn screw. I called them up last night and let the answering machine have it. I told them I wouldn't take my Huffy to them to work on!

I figured I needed the thing rejetted so I let them do everything to put it on the dyno. I would love to have done it myself but it was easier if they just did it all at the same time. This is why I like to do everything physically and mentally that I can to my own stuff. End Rant.
