    Hi Kevin.

    I already notice this issue on this carbs by reading one of the old posts..

    my carb close the valve completely like the second picture..

    it took me o lots of work trying to get the plunger loose from the adjuster with the spring inside.. was all rust it out.

    but with heat and a bit of muscle it around  i got it loose..then the two bottom screws was the same problem.. heat it a few times to get it going..

    ohh..!  also the main shaft was stuck to the body .. , that was the hardest one of all..

     but since there was a lot of aluminium to heat up .. it took a few times before got loose..

    Very sorry to hear this ..

    I have a friend is in the vintage motorcycles near Buffalo and his always around this old cars too.

    I'll pass the info.

    About a Year and a half ago i left my friend's Brand new flat heavy duty trailer hook up to my truck on the street across my neighbor. just because wont fit in my street

    to find out next morning thief  cut the chains i had them with locks, and cut the pin too, trailer was gone , just like that..

    i know the feeling , nothing close to your car do.., but i know .

    some one here said something i like it about the thieves.... they have to be hang to death..!

    here we go again..!  cold start on the Buick . got a good 2-00 battery cable made to spacs.  and a 640 CCA batt starts very easy..

    run a ground cable to the frame and other to the transmission bolt, just to make sure we have a good Ground.

    made the screen filter on the tank. fit just perfect .

    Now im dealing with the tie rods on the drag link.. the ball on the studs are pretty worn out , the two cups i think can be reused, but i refused to pay $134.00 for each stud,  so i think i going to have them made new., or worst case scenario.. will weld them and regrind  it back to size.

    I can't bealive the studs for a Model A are $8 to $16 ., and we Buick owners have to pay that ridiculous amount..!

    Unless anybody knows another stud from a truck or car that may fit , ball is  1 1/16 in diameter  and threat size is 5/8

    I will find a cheaper  solution for this..!

    Cheers.

    I just get to see this post .. All my respects to you on ALL that work your doing there ..!

    I guess I have to consider my self VERY lucky on finding a car that don't really need much wood work or body work .

    Keep up the excellent work..!

    Cheers ...!
