Bread sack tie works great for those tiny holes also 😊

You bet it does. Pull out the little wire and you even have a flag so it's not lost.

The biggest problem with them is the plastic manifold not sealing which makes you think it’s the carb bad
Use a little Right Stuff silicone and let it dry good

I tend to stay away from sealers on carbs and intakes, but I've had pretty good success with Seal All and Motoseal.
You are correct about the plastic though, it creeps or distorts over time and ends up causing a vacuum leak.
