Throttle plate screws

[Tyler Zane]

I was working on a set of carbs today and noticed one of the throttle plates where loose. I centered the plate and tightened the screws.

I tried pinging the threads of the screws so they couldn't back out but those screws are hardened and just chip and break.

Any thoughts, do I even need to ping them?

squeeze them with vise grips to pin them.

That's a great idea and perfect! Thanks for the reply.

There is a special type of loctite for small screws like that, I think it is the green loctite.
