Default Need Help

Hey,
I was just driving my buggy, and when I went to start it, I notice that the srew that holds the clutchbell, came out. So I took the motor out, and tightened the srew. SO I tested it, and everytime I pulled the pullstart, I could see that the srew was backing out.So what should I do?

Different strength - blue is some kind of medium, red is damn close to welding the srews permanently.

Loctite or any other name brand works good. I get mine from AutoZone.

I don't have loctite but I was wondering if the white color glue that the kids get in school will work?

Now wya that will work that stuff will just melt. Spend the $3.00 and get some thread lock. But make sure you get the Blue LEVEL locktite becxause some companies put the red lovktite in there blu bottles, and i once put red locktite on my engine screws, I eventually had to deremel them out because they were so tight.

Ok, any way cheap can be a waste of money.
