desertgasser300 found a loose adjuster nut

I added a knurled brass cup to my slide adjuster screw so I could easily give the screw a bit of a turn out on the trail. It works very well and saves getting out a screwdriver.



However since doing the mod, I notice it's harder to get a steady idle. The stock plastic screw had a white thread sealer/locking compound on it. Since I removed and replaced the screw, most of this compound came off. I think the screw is not held as snug in the hole now. It is the stock screw with a brass piece added.

Any idea what this stuff is? I might try some watered down blue loctite as a replacement. I suspect the reduction of original sealant is having an effect on the slide screw position.
