Default Loose breather flame trap

The flame trap on the bottom of the block is very loose, you can rattle it around inside the block. Any reason why this might be and what i can do to sort it out?

Hi,

you can remove it and give it a good clean up and degrease where it goes into the block and likewise clean the block and reseat it using some loctite studlock or similar, give it about 15 mins to cure this will sort it out.
