Fresh rebuilt carbs, put them on last year but never drove the car, while trying to trouble shoot why it was running badly, I suspected something with the rear carb, I took the adjuster screw all the way out, after putting it back its super tight, like really tight and I can not turn it all the way to the top so its running too rich.
I made sure it was not cross threaded or anything and the threads looked fine. not sure if a O ring or something may be in the way.
Granted all this, the float must have been stuck from sitting a year, I tapped it on the side with a screw driver handle and it smoothed right out in an instant.
Now wondering why the screw is so tight, it was not like that beofre I took it out, did I do a NO NO by taking it all the way out?
