Posted June 11, 201410 yr comment_449674 My car has dual down draft Webers and the rear carb idle mixture screws leans out over a period of about 1,000 miles. Last night I traced a stumble down to this mixture screw going from 1 1/2 turns down to 1/2 turn. This is the second time I've seen this on this carb.Does anyone have a fix?

June 11, 201410 yr comment_449677 The spring under the head is supposed to keep the tension. Its worn out or broken. Replace the spring, or add a washer to increase the pre-load.
