I broke that fiting so I just stuck screws in it .. is that sufficient enough?
I forgot I broke it ,so it was liek that a while.... Can that considerably screw up my idle because mine sucks.
My batt went dead so I cant test it out
Random pic..... Can you guess what??

Yes a vacuum leak will really mess up the idle.
When I had a detached vac hose that I didn't notice it wouldn't idle without the choke on.
The vacuum leak allows air to be sucked into the intake manifold so it leans the mixture.
You might want to put either some teflon plumber's tape or some blue locktite on the screw threads to make sure it's sealed airtight.

Yep, a vacuum leak will definately screw up the idle. Plugging the hose isn't a very good solution either... Can't really tell from the picture, but the hose does something... It can't do what it's supposed to if it's just plugged up.
The way I check for vacuum leaks is to spray carb cleaner in little bursts in different areas around the carb and vacuum hoses. Wait a few seconds and see if the idle goes up... If it does, the leak is in that area. I try to keep the intake connected when I do this to prevent any overspray from going straight into the carb and messing with the results.
