Hey guys question of the day LOL. I got my ‘30 Tudor fired up after setting the timing. We cleaned and rebuilt the carb. Everything looked good float level and such. Started the car it would only run for 30 seconds or so then stall. I realized I forgot to open the fuel mix on the choke rod. After that started right up but I cannot get it to idle. The idle adjustment will back all the way out and all in without any changes in motor performance. Also she will back fire a bit if I throttle up and let off. I tried adjusting the fuel mix about a quarter turn or so but nothing seems to help. Any suggestions?
