eBay replacement 2bbl carbs

Absolutely no reason why locktight should be on the choke valve screws (choke plate as you call it). These are small screws and when installing them they are down at an angle and can easily be cross threaded. Someone took a shortcut after stripping the threads and used lock-tite. They thought it would be a permanent fix. "Something to look for?" Means, do not use whoever rebuilt that Carb... Please post this rebuilder...I wouldn't use these idiots.

Bought it off of ebay brand new. It wasn't the choke plate it was the throttle butterfly base plate where the screws were loose. took the throttle plate off to inspect for gasket issues...there were none. reassembled with small screw loctite to avoid screws coming loose and finding their way to the valves. just crappy qc on the part of the Chinese but works great now that the vacuum leak is fixed.
