The carb neck is a metal bush over the plastic case. The metal is secured in position by plastic bushes for lack of a better word. When you twist the carb and you have not loosened it enough the plastic retainers(bushes) snaps off and the whole carb just spins inside the metal bush. It does not matter how tight the make the tensioner.
I tried superglue, it works for a while. I normally chuck the carb it just causes problems with the linkage setup as the carb moves when braking.
