[Woodie1]

I put a different carb on today & was able to stop the car without it quitting. This tells me it is the carb. Upon taking the carb apart again I noticed the end of the idle jet was slightly mashed on the end. I measured it's length to an old original jet & found it to be about .020 longer than the original. When the carb was assembled without the gasket & the idle jet in place, the carb halves would not meet. I was hoping I had the problem solved. The car runs slightly better but now the air mixture screw must be almost seated to get the best or fastest idle. I guess there is still an air leak. The throttle shaft is snug. The threads for the air mixture screw seem tight. The mounting bolts are snug & so is the bolt that holds the carb together.
