Mike,
Go to your local auto parts store (if you don't already have any) and
purchase a sheet of gasket paper. Using the bypass valve as a template,
trace an outline on the paper and cut out a gasket to fit behind the
valve. Punch holes for the screws. Fit the gasket and then the valve on
both carbs. You may have to adjust your mixture a bit, but if you don't
mind some mild "popping" from the exhaust upon deceleration, your car
will run better than before.

I guess I muat have touched on a forbidden suject!
To my untrained eye, the valve seems to be fully closed when the
adjustment
screw is turned fully clockwise. As the screw is turned counterCW, the
amount
of available valve travel against the spring increases.
If "floating" means the screw is out of contact with the valve when it
is
fully open, then CW adjustment would be required to stop "float". (The
opposite of the info in Haynes and Bentley!)
Bottom line.......I've tried the screws fully in (CW), and at various
settings to 12 turns out (CCW). No effect on the RPM.
The valves, gaskets, springs and screws are in perfect condition.
Help!!!!!
