John, Jim and anyone else who has responded to my original post concerning
Zenith-Stromberg (SINGLE) Carb adjustment:
For some reason, Jim Mellander's post was the first response to my
original question. It appears that I missed the discussion up to this
point. I will take John Bartholomew's suggestion to check the float
adjustment - I haven't done that (BAD BOY). Till then, ANY input as to
setting and adjusting the idle speed, idle mixture, etc. on the exterior of
the Carb is much appreciated.
