Carb issue help needed
Maybe I need to put this question here also.
Got a Keyster carb kit from the stealer and got it installed. Not quite sure of the exact names of the parts but I will try and explain.
The screw in piece that the main jet screws into was about 1/16th longer than the stock one. When installed there is a press in piece that the needle goes through that was pressed out. I was told by a mechanic to repress this piece in with blue loctite and if it stayed I would be okay. If not I would have to get a whole new carb. Has anyone ever had this issue? Look at Number 5 in the pic and it's this area that I'm having the issue.
I hope it is explained enough for you to understand what I'm talking about.

I have not seen one Loctited in place--as a matter of fact, it will drop out once you remove the emulsion tube that the main jet is screwed into. Make sure it is reinstalled with the tapered side up toward the needle jet .
