Nope, it was just the idle mix that was dirty; And I can rebuilt a two barrel myself. Now 4 barrels are a whole different story- If I had one I would send it out! I did the one on my Crestliner about 2 years ago. I just forgot how to get that link out;and didn't want to damage it; but I finally figured it out! I take pride in be able to always figure it out, and DO IT MYSELF! But, thanks for your comments; sometmes I just need a nudge in the right direction!

ken ct., You need to get a dictionary out when you write a thread. Your spelling is HORRIFIC!! It's AMATUER, NOT "AMATURE," and FOGGIEST, NOT FOGGIST. And you criticize me????

Problm solved! I took the bottom off (part with the idle screws) blew carb cleaner in screw holes 'til it came out through their exits; re-installed it back on carb, put carb on motor, started motor, warmed it to temp, adjusted idle screws, and it's idling good!! It was the accelerator link that was giving me a problem to remove that bottom section; I found out There was enough play in it to gently move it out of the middle hole to get the bottom off. At first I was afraid of damaging that link, but I finally figured out how to disconnct it,as stated in the previous sentence.

I fixed it!! I took the carb off the intake, took the bottom part of the carburetor assy. off ( the section that has the mixture screws in it,) by first lifting the link to the accel. pump gently out (sideways), and remembering it was in the middle hole. Then I removed the mixture screws, shot carb cleaner in those hole until it came out of it's the exit ports; put the unit back on the rest of the carburetor, putting the accel. link in that middle hole again, remounted the carb on the intake manifold, installed the mix screws one turn out (as an initial setting,) Then I started the motor, let it warm up- and then did a final adjust on the idle mixes, which amounted to about 1/16th of a turn out. BINGO!!!

Steve, Daytona parts in Florida is one of the better carburetor rebuilding companies in the US. Take or send your carburetor to them before you destroy it. Not everyone can successfuly rebuild the Ford carburetor. Just putting in a kit in an 80 year old carburetor does not ensure that you will have a good working carburetor. Yours sounds like it needs to have the power valve seat refaced.
