Is this only a 2L SU carb issue that me and my 1600 SU's can ignore?

Subject: 2L SU carb service screw to thermo valve interferance problem fix
Hello all,
The problem of the service screw hitting the "valve return fuel
assembly" (as Nissan calls it) came up a few days ago. The problem happens
when the
float bowl rotates on the mounting bolt. The throttle sticking open is the
usual consequence. After looking at several carbs and doing some head
scratching
I have come up with a fix that I like. Two things are done. First the head
of the service screw is reduced in thickness allowing a bit more room.
Second,
the carb body is drilled and a dowel pin is inserted to limit the rotation
of the float bowl.
For anyone who has a set of my 2L carbs I will make this modification
at
no cost. Contact me off list for details.
When I did the original refurbishment I returned the carbs to the
original Nissan configuration and most of the time there was no problem. A
couple
of folks did have problems so I am offering this fix.
