1989 Force 125, new carb seats seem loose

[Cyclone]

Removed old brass seats , the new ones look like stainless. These fit without tapping them in, and are easily removed. Can I use some kind of Loctite or? To hold them in? Any help would be appreciated .i bought the needle-seat kits #FK1017-3.

Yes I believe the Red is fuel resistant.
Make sure the needle/ seat measure the same.

Aftermarket part are usually a nightmare for these carbs.

Thx JJ05, Yes they are the same size, just am able to push them in w/fingers. Had to thread the old ones and use small slide hammer to remove. Once removed there was a small piece of the rubber insert(brass seats have green rubber insert in them) floating around under the one of the seats.
