Richened another 1/4 turn and no change.....same WOT rpm whether the screw is bottomed or hanging out of the carb. L screw does what it should.
I rebuilt the carb last year and tuned both H and L accordingly. Anyone know why no change from the H screw at all?

Steps I'd take
1 remove carb
2 pitch it in the trash can
3 replace with 20$ eBay Chinese carb
4 live happy till next issue
5 rinse and repeat as necessary

With the Ford it ran the transmission into a small cooler then the radiator. I'm thinking of running it like this and then throwing on my big cooler with the fan. Do you guys think the radiator will pull as much heat as the heat exchanger?

While I do only run eth free fuel, the saw has sat probably 10 months since I last put her in the wind
I go out of my way to have screws to turn, I took the oem carb of my stihl pole saw that only had a L screw and stuck one on it with more screws

Pretty sure it goes to the radiator then to the small cooler, at least it does on an F550. I think it will be fine with the fan cooler added on. Remind me, what trans are you using again?

I've read that the guy who runs or owns Blue Top used to work for Redhead and they are essentially the same other than price. I'm also more than likely going to do a Borgeson steering shaft while I'm in there, it seems like the best time to do it.
Luckily it has warmed up here, it was in the mid 50's today and it felt fantastic. Hopefully that is the last of the cold weather.
