I have an older Zenith carb with the brass GAV seat. When I first got the car, the GAV dial inside the car would point straight up when it was fully closed. After I had a fellow club member rebuild the carb, it no longer does. It now points toward the 2 o'clock position when closed.

I found that if I screw the seat out about 3/4 turn, I can bring the dial back to the 12 o'clock position when closed. My first question is, am I being too nit picky? And my second question is, am I going to create problems by not having the seat tight? Is there a better way to line it back up or should I not worry about it?

Thanks for you help.
