I accidentally took the screw that is behind the fuel line in the pic out and a red washer/seal popped out as well. When ever I try to put back in the seal expands and gets squished so its too big to go back into the hole. Also it seems like there is no threads for the screw to go into. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong and what that screw even is. Thanks.

Sorry about the weird pic set up. Don't know how to fix it.
 
Pict won't open. Can you give some more info, like what screw your talking about, I'm assuming its on the carb.
 
All that link does is take us to a sign in page. Upload your photos to photobucket. Then copy and paste the url from photobucket. Sounds like you just took a plug out. Seal it with copper rtv before reistalling if this is the case.
 
Yeah well we are gonna need some pics cause I'm looking all over my rig and can't find any screw under the Hsn besides the idle screw. Sorry I'm not able to help any without seeing what your speaking of.
 
i think he is talking about end cap screw with the allen in it it has a rubber seal on it and they do strip out easy
 
That's what I think too. A simple picture of it would tell the tale. If it's stripped, build up the threads with ca glue and seal the plug when reinstalling. Or get a new carb body.
 
Like I said give MORE info. No one knows if your talking about the carb on a TRX 3.3 or a quadrajet carb on your v8.
And we all know what a tmaxx looks like how about a picture of your problem area...

I'm just getting a bit cranky, I hate it when ppl ask for help and all they say is "my screw broke and I can't get it out can you help", it makes want say things that will kick me off this site...
 
U talking about that silver screw that goes into the side of the carb. It's like a cover plate/service hole?
 
Okay it is what madmaxx said and sorry about lack of information. It is on a 2.5 tmaxx. I will be uploading a new pic shortly.
 
well if that what it is you have to get a new body cause there is a atomizer there and if you glue or epoxy it will plug it up and will never run
