Greg;

In the first place, a self-tapping (sheetmetal) screw into a maleable plastic actually works by the identical mechanism that a nylock locking nut does...in the second place, I've never seen one back out due to vibration...it does take significant and deliberate loosening torque to remove, so although low budget, it does seem to be an perfectly effective solution, so I'm really OK with it...

On the other hand...I would like to see the Jet Supply Tube be held a bit more positively into bottom of Fuelbowl than by the minimal compression force of the seal...I mean it doesn't take much more force than brushing up against it in the wrong (pulling) direction to remove it...

Cheers
