[AT] Ford 1841 fuel problem

[charlie hill]

Dean the screw he is talking about goes down into the passage from the 
bottom of the fuel bowl to the throat of the carb and regulates how much 
fuel flows into the main jet.   (I think I'm saying that right)
it's been long enough since I had one apart that I can't remember exactly. 
As far as it the screw turning freely,  I think there should be a felt 
washer under the nut that compresses against the screw shaft but again.  I 
haven't looked at one up close and personal for 10 years or more.

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?
