My Dream Begins (Restoration Project)Continues...After a bath;
  I cleaned the gunk out of all the passages in the carb body and adjustment screws. Should I put anything on the adjustment screws before I put them back in?  Points:  Under the points:  Should I be concerned that there is/was leakage under that shaft? The fun continues...  The moisture you see here is from the PB Blaster I was spraying on the screws to get them out. The pic on the right shows you the fun I had removing them. D@mn easy-out was not so easy. I saw a youtube vid that mentions that old skoolers used to change these phillips screws for hex bolts. You thoughts/suggestions on that...? More pics;     I'm sure I'll continue to find issues like this; BOO!!!  Thanks for looking! More to come... Many switch to allen head fasteners.
An impact driver (the kind you hit with a hammer) is your friend on these old screws. Sometimes they are still stubborn. I typically drill the heads off. First an 1/8" bit and then a 1/4" bit. Head pops right off. 1 minute total time spent. You will probably want to pull that filter cover off and clean it out. Keep track of the order of assembly on that filter assembly. Washer goes on outside the filter cover and before the pin. Also that shaft has a pin in it that need to be in the correct position when putting the cover back on. The screws were well chewed before I went at them with an impact driver which worked on the first screw (furthest right in the picture) but not the other two, then went with the easy out whose tip broke on the last screw. So I ended up whacking it with a punch. I'll go with the drill technique if I run into the problem again. I'm trying to take pics (and a few vids) of everything as it comes apart to ensure proper reinstallation. Would you say that filter assembly seems to be in decent condition? Anything that stands out to you? Thanks again
