Default RE: CAN NOT REPLACE CARBURETOR RETAINER

ORIGINAL: shd3920

OK I got the old cinch pin out and the new one in, curved side facing out. And tightened it as hard as I could. It is tight but has some give in it and it still shifts about 1/16th of an inch when moved by hand. Is that a significant amount to matter? If I leave it like that will it eventually loosen up again to the point will the pin will have to be replaced again? Is there something I can put around the carburetor to make it even more tight such as epoxy weld http://jbweld.net/products/jbweld.php ?
I remember you were looking for the replacement pin. Can you please check the carb body for dents (where the pin pinches the carb). If you over tighten the nut, it will pinch TOO MUCH and put a dent in the aluminum carb body. This happened to my Super Tiger 46.

Pics would help a lot.
