sucking air

the power valves on my sled began vibrating terrible yesterday and upon pulling the top half off I found the bolts underneath the orange rubbery diaphragm were extremely loose which was causing the vibration between the valve and cylinder, I got everything tightened back up and the problem seems to be gone however the sled spits and sputters just a little when at low rpm's, someone suggested it could be sucking air from where it had seperated if the gasket isn't good anymore but we think it is just running a little rich since I have oil in the gas from a recent engine rebuild, just wondering if it were to be sucking air if that is going to hurt anything since I am hoping to ride it till this tank of gas is gone so I can just get some straight gas in there and see if that fixes the issue however I do not want to take the chance in case it is sucking air and that could lead to future problems, any input would be greatly appreciated
