Glitch in draining carb. for winter storage
I went to drain the carb. but instead of the just the drain screw turning counterclockwise to open and allow fuel to drain out the little black hose, the entire "bolt" unit is unscrewing from the carb. The screw is not turning independently. Not sure what to do. The section connected to the carb. should be in there snug, and the drain screw at the end should open and close independently. The unit is turning as one. Not sure what would happen if I unscrewed the entire unit, but my instincts tell me not to do that. I've got to find a way to tighten the unit to the carb. and then to loosen the drain screw at the tip. Can someone please advise on best way to do this?

It's a Buddy 125. "Bolt" isn't the right word, just didn't know what to call it. Basically, instead of the screw at the end turning as it's suppose to, the entire unit that it's attached to turns and is backing right out of the carb. Just the screw is suppose to turn to be able to drain gas from the carb.
