Mine fell out... err.. shouldve used a safety string or something.. but anyhoo, my bike wont hold an idle for long, but thats fine... other than that.. Will this hurt the motor at all?

You need to cover that hole where the idle screw was. It is going to suck in dust but should not effect how it runs except at idle.

if you're gonna cover the hole so it doesn't suck in dust, the best thing to cover it with is a new idle screw.

That's a brilliant idea! I got an extra idle screw with my Grubee kit. Check your kit you mat already have one.
