Good think you found and fixed it quickly. This might even be a good place for 
a little LocTite. If these are allowed to run loose for awhile they will deform 
the threads in the carb and you'll have to get the carb bodies repaired with 
Timeserts before you'll ever be able to keep the cut-off valves tight in them.
