Zenith auto choke coming loose

A couple times now, the screws on the auto choke assembly have managed to rattle loose, which usually leads to hard starting and leaking some gas. Thinking about putting a dab of blue Loctite on the threads, should that do the trick? I don't want it to be too permanent if I have to do a rebuild.

Clean threads first, a degreaser, and then a little dab of Blue Locktite. Worked for me on my 210 Gear Shift Bolts. Tighten as tight as I could and they would come loose in 4-5 miles of driving. Blue Locktite did the trick. Issue fixed.

Thanks! Seems to be holding now. I'll keep checking but the screws don't seem to be moving on their own now.
