So I had a fellow mechanic go through and rebuild my carburetor on my '76 slant. He tuned it a bit so it would idle higher when I start the motor which was fine with me since the motor seemed to want to die during idle anyway. Well I thought he fixed the problem but the carb seems to be suffocating itself with an issue to where when I throttle the "choke plate" (not sure the proper term) that the gas pedal cable adjustable screw rests on to keep idle, moves out of the way and when the adjustable screw comes back down when I let off the gas, it'll almost die when the car is at a stop when idle. I played around with the plate and the car will idle great when I get that screw back onto that "choke plate" but it wont stay on it. Any ideas? I'd be happy to answer any other questions to make more sense of this if I'm unclear with anything, just need help and I think I may be flooding the motor when having the issue cause of wet looking spots near gaskets.
