Had a messy one today. Fast forward had to replace regulator and all the gaskets at the carb base. Found missing gaskets and was lose originally and now been replaced.All the setting on the truck set to help with the lean conditon. Set the carb screw at 3 turns, the regulator at 3.5 turns. Had to set the distributor about in the middle of the adjustment range. Also found the screw that is sealed up in the carb was drilled out on air cleaner side. I dont have a manual to get the proper settings on everything but seem to get it running when it starts. idle is about 900. So the weird thing is if i crank the engine over all it would do it crank. id stop cranking and try it again immediately after and it will start. after shutting the truc off it would continue to start no problem. If i let the truc sit for a little bit i would have to do the 2 key starts to get it running again.

Next question, the silver smaller solenoid on the top above the fuel line , im assuming it a idle solenoid. while the truck is running i unplugged it and nothing changes running wise. There is battery voltage at that plug when cranking the engine.

Is there a cheat sheet that show the correct way of adjusting the idle and fuel screws? Not sure if the air cleaner side fuel screw is causing some of the issure since i can see the grinder marks on it. No idea what the turns on that screw would be. Anyone have these issues or any ideas. thanks for the future info!

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
