It doesn't matter how hard you set the grap screw... since it doesn't hold the plastic carb body underneeth that metal colar.
I also don't know whether this affects the tuning in any way. This slight movement does create a small gap between the metal colar and the plastic body which results in a possible air leak from the upper o-ring area of the carb.
I had the same problem, one of the plastic bits fell off, I just used a bucket load of Hi Temp Silicone Sealant, then got a wee bit ticked off by the GO carb and installed a OS carb. That's a good find VTI-Chris

, I hope the Go engine guys that are part of development team take this matter into consideration.
I never knew that those plastic bits could/would cause headache/problems.
