When I got my carb back from Sam some months ago it was missing the fuel fitting on the carb. He sent me another one BUT it has never fit tight and now I'm having some problems with it staying on. What is the best way to address this? Ideally I'd like to expand the fitting a very slight amount to make it a nice interference fit. Possible? I'm trying JB Weld and RTV and maybe will even safety wire it somehow. Any good ideas?

Thanks!
