There are several solutions for this.

I usually drill a hole in the air horn from beneath and drill the loose part for 3-48 threads and attach it with a screw.
A new pin for the arm helps keep it in place.

thanks for the reply. i did something similar to that but it bugs me that it might work loose some where in the middle of nowhere and leave me stuck. if i can find a replacement for cheap that would be great. i built this carb about 12 years ago with all of Cliff's stuff and set it up for my 375 hp blue-print 350 crate engine. never used it for that engine. probably will never use it as i retired in 2015 and bought a c5 vette for my toy but you never know what might pop up. thanks again.
