Maybe put a larger grommet or something around the choke rod to keep from vibrating open.

There is a spring clip around the end of the GAV housing. When the needle is screwed into the housing, the spring clip keeps tension on the needle to prevent it from turning. Your's might be missing or loose, you might be able to take it off, compress it a little and reinstall. There should be some tension on the needle. Make sure the housing is tight in the carb as well.
