I installed it on the car and when using the throttle or brake i could also notice the small movement.
Is this normal...?
I know there is a small o-ring on the base of the carb...could that be the problem?
Will it go into the engine if it goes totally bad?
I didn't want to remove the carb since i have silicone around the neck and such and it would take some time to reinstall and i was busy.

As for it moving when on the car i would like to inform before you ask, that i have my linkages set right and are not dragging on the carb...
