Hey everyone, ran into a lil issue here going over the last lil bit of my carbs.. One of the small screws holding the throttle blade on to the linkage seems stripped. It keeps turning right; seemingly not tightening whatsoever. My worry is that over time from engine/road vibrations; it will work itself loose and possibly fall into my engine causing potentially catastrophic damage. Am I overthinking things here, and if not what are my options? Thanks y'all.

They are usually deformed on the other side to make sure they don't come free easily. Can you see if yours has been struck if you open the flap?

Likely the wrong size, they look mismatched. Remove both, compare the threads. get a couple of new ones, secure with red loctite, peen or punch the back side if possible.
