Usually the tip of the adjustment screw regulates how much air is pulled through the idle
passage.

No; it comes up at about a 45 degree angle from the bottom of the bowl (Marvel Schiebler
carb).  Idle passages on top.  BTW I also ran copper wires through the jets & passages
after soaking & blew 125 psi compressed air thru them.

Congratulations.  I suspect you now have the carburetor partially cleaned.
Is this
adjustment screw anywhere close to the idle passages?
