Yes, a drain screw could vibrate loose and let fuel out. Take it out and make sure the threads are clean and put a drop of threadlocker on it, just a bit, don't cover all the threads and put it back in and tighten it up pretty snug. It will still come out when you need to but it won't vibrate out.

Does this sound possible - I was riding my c70 home from work the other day and all of a sudden it just stopped running in the middle of the street. I pulled over and noticed a puddle of gas under the bike. I had a friend with a truck help me get it home and the only thing I can find that would've caused this is the drain screw on the carburetor was very loose. I tightened it back up and am going to put gas in it today, but has anyone ever had a problem with the drain screw coming loose like that? I'm hoping this was just a weird isolated incident. Thanks in advance for any comments!
