My question is Why oh Why didn't you check the carb screws before to put in
on your plane?
You can't. The screws have bend up tabs that are bent up to keep the
hex head screws from backing out. The only way you would know the case
was loose would be if it were so loose you could see the gap in the
seam, or bend the tabs down and then tighten the screws, and then bend
the tabs back up. But who would think that would be necessary with a
newly rebuilt carb shipped from the manufacturer? I think they did
tighten the screws, but the threads were worn out inside the carb
body, the screw threads slipped. Wasn't my fault! It was carb
manufacturers for shipping such a sloppy piece of crap.
