my first carb rebuild, done, but adjustment question

weirdest thing,
I'll try and spare you the details but... my temp gauge started reading again, and I noticed it was quite cool. so I adjusted the idle mixture screws to lean her up more and more and more, really making sure she was not happy before I pulled one turn back out.

AND... I can mash the pedal again. works just as it did before. So it appears that it was not a lean problem but a flooding problem. :dontknow:

and this just after I spent a bit of money picking up pieces to convert to a 4 brl. at least now I dont feel any rush to go 4 brl. and can study the situation more (i will be looking for another 2 brl bbd for parts) :scratch:


Well the above statements held true for one night of driving. When I went to test the next day she went back to stumbling.... I'm gona look for another post 76 2 brl carter bbd for parts. Still waiting for my four to arrive and I have to rebuild it.
